Are the stores open normal hours this weekend?
...we're headed to Minneapolis tomorrow (don't laugh, that's considered an exotic metropolis round these parts!) and I can't find any info about curtailed opening hours... so I'm guessing it's business as usual for US stores over the Easter weekend?
Was a bit surprised to see my local Wal-Mart here in Canada will be closed all Friday and all Monday...thought I'd better check if the US has 2 days off too :scared:
Thanks in anticipation.

Nobody seems to consider Friday or Monday special, odd.

Might be worth checking as there are not many stores/malls open around here on Sunday. Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and Easter Sunday seem to the the 3 days when nearly everything is closed down.
