More than 1,000 Michaels stores to close for an entire day - see all the locations affected by the shuttering

Michaels shoppers will not be able to shop at any of the arts and crafts chain's locations next Sunday.

A spokesperson confirmed to DailyMail.com that all of the Michaels stores will be closed on March 31 in observance of Easter.

Michaels is one of more than 20 chain stores to be closing their doors for the entire Easter Sunday.

The 24 hour closure of more than 1,000 Michaels stores comes after the US Commerce Department revealed that retail sales have increased by 0.7 percent this month.

All of the stores that are closed on Easter Sunday will return to normal business hours on April 1.

Costco confirmed on their website's Customer Service page that all of their U.S. warehouses will be closed on Easter Sunday. 

Other supermarket chains that will be closed for the Sunday holiday include Sam's Club and Publix.

Easter is one of three annual holidays that Publix is closed on every year. 

'Since our founding, we have been closed on these three holidays in observance of the holiday and to allow our associates time with family and friends,' Publix's website read.

Furniture retail chains like Bob's Discount Furniture and HomeGoods will also close all of their store locations in observance of the holiday.

'We consider ourselves an Associate-friendly company and we are pleased to give Associates the time to enjoy Easter with family and friends,' a HomeGoods spokesperson told The U.S. Sun.

Anyone looking to purchase anything for home improvement on Easter can go to Home Depot and select Ace Hardware stores, but Lowe's will not be an option.

However, despite being closed on the holiday itself, Costco is offering some Easter deals on candy 

All Lowe's locations will be closed on Easter for the fifth year in a row.

'I'm extremely proud of the commitment of our 300,000 associates who support our communities while providing excellent customer service,' said Lowe's CEO Marvin Ellison in a press release.

'In recognition of our teams' continued hard work, we are pleased to provide a well-deserved day off so they can spend Easter with their loved ones.'

Unfortunately, buyers who are looking to shop at Marshalls, Target and Macy's on Easter will also have no luck, since all of their stores will be closed as well.

However, not every store is closed for the holiday. 

Target will also be closed on the holiday

Almost all Walmart stores will be open throughout the U.S. this Easter and operate under their normal business hours, with locations in Maine being the only exception.

Title 17 of §3204 states that for purposes of 'business, traveling or recreation' on Sundays, stores that are more than 5,000 square feet cannot be open on Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Easter in Maine.

Store chains like Staples and Ace Hardware will also have some locations open throughout the U.S.

However, consumers are advised to call those stores ahead of time to make sure they are open.

Other stores that will be operating during regular or holiday hours include IKEA, Home Depot and PetCo. 

Be sure to contact your local outlets of major stores to check if they're open or working under holiday hours
