Publix stores closing on Easter Sunday is one tradition remaining from founder George Jenkins\u2019 plans after he opened the first one in Florida\u2019s Winter Haven in 1930.<\/p>\n

In fact, Publix was closed on Sundays, period, until April 24, 1983. That\u2019s when Jenkins, then 75, listened to market pressure \u2014 nearly all of the grocery chain\u2019s competition had Sunday hours. Publix flung open its doors at 9 a.m. that Sunday and has kept open on Sundays since.<\/p>\n

But not on Easter Sunday.<\/p>\n

Government offices and many public services also don\u2019t operate on Sunday. But on this Easter Sunday, April 5, are other South Florida stores and malls open for business?<\/p>\n
