Why Conad is opening stores during Easter

Easter represents one of the most important seasonal trading periods for supermarkets in Italy. Demand typically rises for fresh meat, bakery products, deli foods and chocolate eggs as households prepare traditional family meals and Easter Monday gatherings.

Retailers often adjust opening hours during the holiday weekend to accommodate last-minute purchases and increased store traffic ahead of celebrations.

By keeping selected supermarkets open across different regions, Conad aims to ensure shoppers can still access essential groceries and seasonal products during peak demand days.

Store availability across Italy

According to the retailer, participating stores are located across numerous regions including Abruzzo, Campania, Lazio, Liguria, Lombardy, Marche, Piedmont, Puglia, Sardinia, Sicily, Tuscany and Veneto.

Opening schedules will vary by location, with some supermarkets operating full-day hours and others opening only in the morning. Consumers are advised to check the retailer’s store locator or mobile app for exact opening times and available services.

Online grocery and store locator tools

Alongside the special holiday openings, Conad confirmed that customers can continue using its online grocery ordering and in-store pickup services.

Digital tools on the retailer’s website and app allow shoppers to identify nearby stores, confirm opening hours and plan grocery purchases during the Easter holiday period.

Seasonal demand around Easter continues to influence supermarket operations across Italy, with retailers balancing extended store hours and digital services to manage peak grocery traffic.
