2019 Walmart Holiday Schedule

As the largest U.S. retailer, many people rely on Walmart for their basics and household goods. Since it’s the primary shopping spot for many people, it’s important to know on what holidays Walmart closes, and when the store is open. While there are 10 federal holidays throughout the year, these holidays aren’t universal to everyone in the U.S. They only legally apply to federal employees, so even on these holidays, many stores remain open. If you’re planning to head out to the store, here’s this year’s Walmart holiday schedule.

Tuesday, January 1: Walmart is open on New Year’s Day
Monday, January 21: Walmart is open on Martin Luther King Jr. Day
Thursday, February 14: Walmart is open on Valentine’s Day
Monday, February 18: Walmart is open on Presidents’ Day
Sunday, March 17: Walmart is open on St. Patrick’s Day
Friday, April 19: Walmart is open on Good Friday
Saturday, April 20: Walmart is open on Easter Saturday
Sunday, April 21: Walmart is open on Easter Sunday
Monday, April 2: Walmart is open on Easter Monday

Wednesday, December 25: Walmart is closed on Christmas Day
Tuesday, December 31: Walmart is open on New Year’s Eve
Wednesday, January 1: Walmart is open on New Year’s Day 2020

Walmart is open every day of the year except Christmas Day. There are some days when their stores open for limited hours (Thanksgiving) and extended hours (Black Friday), but they are open at least some part of the day for most of the year. Some Walmart stores may also have extended hours during the Christmas shopping season.

2019 Walmart Store Hours

Walmart doesn’t have a standard set of opening hours for all its stores. The time Walmart stores are open will vary from location to location. Some are open 24 hours a day, while others have different weekday and weekend hours. The best way to find out the hours of a local Walmart store is to use the official Walmart store locator tool. This will give you the opening hours of each Walmart store.

The above information is general information regarding when Walmart stores will be open for business. A variety of incidents can cause exceptions to the above information. For example, specific stores may close due to damage to the store, and there can be closures due to severe weather as well. It’s always best to call and confirm with your store if you have any doubt about it being open or closed.

The way things have been going recently, it won’t be too long before Walmart is open all day on Thanksgiving and begins to open on Christmas Day as well. It’s going to be a 24/7 superstore soon.

Walmart, shame on you for being open on Thanksgiving. Everyone has family they need to spend time with. The store should never open on Christmas either. Family first!

  I am a Roman Catholic and agree Walmart should be closed on Easter Sunday. Easter is one of our most sacred holy days, honoring the resurrection of our lord Jesus Christ. Keeping stores open on such a sacred day is an attack on the religious beliefs of Christians everywhere. Along with Christmas these are our most sacred of Holy Days. Shame on Walmart for being Open on Easter.

Walmart should close holidays or ask who wants to work not force people to work when they have families, also they should pay time and a half if you do work holidays. They should stop being greedy, they are the biggest retailer . what the heck do they need to be open holidays for?

One of the reasons I dont like Walmart its their schedule. NOT chance to have family time . Many stores open long hours, not fair.
