Starbucks Faces Easter Controversy Over Hours

Starbucks Sparks Controversy by Remaining Open on Easter Sunday

April 20, 2025

In a move that has drawn mixed reactions, Starbucks announced that most of its locations across the U.S. will remain open on Easter Sunday, a decision that has upset some customers and religious groups while being welcomed by others looking for their caffeine fix on the holiday.

Backlash from Religious Communities

Several faith-based organizations have criticized the coffee giant for staying open on what many consider a sacred day. 'Easter is a time for family, worship, and reflection—not corporate profits,' said Reverend Mark Thompson, a spokesperson for the Christian Advocacy Group. 'It’s disappointing to see businesses prioritizing sales over giving employees time to celebrate with their loved ones.'

Some Starbucks workers have also expressed frustration, with one barista (who wished to remain anonymous) saying, 'We already work most holidays. It would be nice to have Easter off, especially since so many other businesses close.'

Support from Customers

However, not everyone is opposed to the decision. Many customers took to social media to defend Starbucks, pointing out that not everyone celebrates Easter and that some rely on the chain for their daily routine.

'I don’t celebrate Easter, and I appreciate having a place to grab coffee and work,' tweeted one user. Another added, 'Hospitals, gas stations, and pharmacies are open—why single out Starbucks?'

Starbucks’ Response

In a statement, Starbucks acknowledged the concerns but emphasized that operating hours are determined by local demand and franchise decisions. 'We respect all holidays and understand the importance of Easter to many of our partners and customers,' the company said. 'Stores have the flexibility to adjust hours based on community needs, and employees are compensated with holiday pay.'

A Growing Trend

This isn’t the first time Starbucks has faced scrutiny over holiday operations. The chain has previously been criticized for staying open on Thanksgiving and Christmas, though it has closed early in some locations to accommodate employee requests.

As the debate continues, the controversy highlights the ongoing tension between corporate policies, employee welfare, and customer expectations on major holidays.
