Three keys to decipher the labeling of any food
Mercadona Easter schedule
We are used to the fact that the Valencian company closes on Sundays and holidays, which is why all its establishments will be closed on Easter Sunday. It also closes on Good Friday, with the exception of certain supermarkets in areas of great tourist influx.
During Holy Thursday all stores will remain open but with reduced hours, between 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. In addition, all establishments will also close on Easter Monday (April 18).
Easter day schedule
The French supermarket chain DIA will open for several days of Easter but with reduced hours. These are the cases of Holy Thursday and Good Friday, where the opening hours of most establishments will be the same as on Sundays: from 10:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Easter Sunday too remains in the usual schedule of Sundays, that is, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. In any case, not all DIA supermarket hours are the same, since those that usually close on Sunday will also close on Good Friday.
In case of doubt, it is best to resort to the store locator of the chain itself.
