Conad opens selected stores in Italy on April 25 holiday

-

Conad will keep several supermarkets open across Italy on April 25, with reduced and location-specific hours during the national holiday period.

The retailer said selected stores in regions including Lombardy, Emilia-Romagna, Veneto, Tuscany, Lazio, Puglia, Sicily and others will continue trading, depending on local management decisions.

April 25 is a public holiday in Italy, and supermarket activity typically shifts toward shorter opening hours and essential shopping demand, particularly for family meals and weekend travel.

Conad said customers will be able to access fresh food counters in many stores, including meat and deli sections, supporting holiday food preparation and last-minute grocery needs.

Opening hours will not be uniform. Each store will operate under its own schedule, and customers are advised to check local timings before visiting.

The company also encouraged shoppers to use its online ordering and in-store pickup services, which remain available in participating locations during the holiday period.

Holiday trading in Italy often varies by region, with retailers balancing staff availability and consumer demand while maintaining essential access to groceries.

Customers planning to shop on April 25 are advised to confirm store availability in advance, as some outlets may remain closed or operate limited hours.
