Are Coles, Woolworths, Bunnings and Kmart open this Anzac Day weekend?

April 23, 2021 Ava

Many Australians will be up before dawn to commemorate Anzac Day, but it will be many hours before the shops open.

April 25 falls on a Sunday this year which means only people from the ACT, Western Australia, South Australia, Northern Territory, and Queensland will get Monday off work, but big retailers have still adjusted their hours nationwide.

Those who are planning a big day on Sunday should stock up on breakfast supplies on Saturday to avoid being caught out, as most stores will be closed until lunch time.

Woolworths and Coles around NSW and Victoria will open at 1pm on Sunday, while stores in Tasmania open from 12.30pm.

Perth, Adelaide, and Brisbane supermarkets will not open at all, but some stores outside of the city centres will open from 12pm.

Australians hoping to occupy their time on Sunday by working on DIY projects will be able to head to Bunnings all day in NSW, Victoria, WA, SA and NT, and from lunch time in Tasmania and ACT.

Kmart will also be open from lunch time on Sunday in most states, and all day on Monday across the country.

But Queenslanders will have to wait until Monday to buy groceries or visit Kmart and Bunnings as all shops will be closed on Sunday.

Anzac Day this year is in stark contrast to the event in 2020, which saw the first ever cancellation of events since they began in the 1920s due to Covid-19.

Some states will not run parades in 2021, but others will take place with social distancing precautions.
