What's open Easter 2025? What to know about banks, post offices, UPS and FedEx in Florida

Yahoo18-04-2025
Sunday is Easter, one of the most important days of the year in the Christian faith and a happy day of chocolate for many others.
The holiday celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ and for many people in the Christian faith, it follows a 40-day period of fasting, prayer, self-denial and giving known as Lent. Easter is on Sunday, April 20 this year. The date changes because it falls on the first Sunday after the full moon that occurs on or after the spring equinox (although Eastern and Western Christianity disagree over the computation).
Some retail, restaurant and grocery store chains will be closed or have reduced hours on April 20, in celebration of the holiday. What about banks, post offices and shipping services?
You may want to get your shipping and banking done by Saturday. Here's what you need to know this Easter weekend.
United States Postal Service operations will proceed as normal on Sunday, April 20, the USPS confirmed in an emailed statement to USA TODAY.
But residential and business mail will not be delivered, and USPS facilities will be closed for retail transactions, the same as every Sunday. However, Priority Mail Express is delivered 365 days a year, including on Sundays.
Since Easter falls on a Sunday, banks that typically close on Sundays will also be closed on Easter Sunday as well.
Most branches of Bank of America, Wells Fargo, PNC, Truist, JPMorgan Chase, and Citibank will be closed on April 20. Customers are encouraged to contact their local branch to confirm specific hours.
Capital One told USA TODAY its branches and cafes will be operating at their normal scheduled hours on Good Friday and Easter. Customers can use the Capital One locator finder to find specific information for operating hours near them.
UPS pickup and delivery services will not be available on Easter.
UPS Store locations may be closed, according to the company's website. Check with your local store for specific hours of operation.
However, if you have urgent shipping needs, UPS Express Critical service is available 365 days a year, according to the company's website. Call 1-800-714-8779 or visit upsexpresscritical.com for more information.
You can find Florida UPS offices here.
Most of FedEx's pickup and delivery services will not be available on Easter, according to the company's website. FedEx Office hours will also be modified, so it is best to check with your local store for their specific hours.
FedEx has modified hours on Friday, April 18 and Saturday, April 19. FedEx Freight has modified service on Friday and is closed Saturday. FedEx offices are open both days.
FedEx Custom Critical, however, is available 24/7, according to the company.
You can find Florida FedEx office locations here.
The Nasdaq and New York Stock Exchange will be closed Friday, April 18, and reopen for normal hours from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET Monday, April 21.
The bond market closed early on Thursday at 2 p.m. ET and remained closed Friday, according to the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association holiday schedule. It will reopen Monday at 8 a.m. ET.
Markets were also closed Friday in London and EuroNext Paris but will be open Monday. Hong Kong, Shanghai and Tokyo markets remained open.

These women moved into an all-female 'hacker house.' Here's how it's going.

Ava Poole has been awake for nearly 24 hours. It's 4 a.m. and she's been working nonstop on a presentation about her startup. Taylor Swift's "New Year's Day" plays. Four empty cans of Coke Zero litter her work space. Despite the sleep deprivation, the 20-year-old told USA TODAY "this is truly the happiest I've ever been." As a member of FoundHer House, an all-female hacker house, Poole was awake in the early hours of Aug. 18 with her fellow residents in their San Francisco rental home to prepare for their Demo Day on Aug. 19. Over 400 investors, other founders and members of their network RSVP'ed to hear the eight women pitch their AI, fintech, health care, climate, real estate and social media tech companies with the aim of getting feedback and funding. The pressure was nothing new to these women: FoundHer House members have raised millions of dollars in venture capital funding from top firms and generated over half a billion social media views. They've filed patents, landed fellowships with companies like Bain Capital Ventures and built products that reach tens of thousands of customers. All while hosting female-focused movie nights, fireside chats and panels with their San Francisco community. In male-dominated Silicon Valley, FoundHer House members told USA TODAY their all-woman space to support one another's startups has inspired fresh optimism and confidence at a time when technology products and services are dramatically shifting. Artificial intelligence poses an existential threat to entry-level tech jobs. That effect is exacerbated for women: Research from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill published in April 2023 found 21% more women face AI job automation than men, even though men outnumber women in the workforce. And even if they decide to go out on their own, female founders receive less than 3% of venture capital funding, according to PitchBook, which tracks investments. On top of that, tech companies are rolling back diversity initiatives in alignment with President Donald Trump's anti-DEI push, with companies like Meta cutting programs designed to boost hiring of women and marginalized communities in the industry. FoundHer House members say coworking and cohabitating, and building a community online helps them look forward, collectively achieving and sharing that journey with their followers. Efforts to boost women in Silicon Valley aren't new, according to Birgit Neu, a London-based diversity and inclusion adviser who also worked in digital in the early days of the internet. But FoundHer House has come at a very specific juncture, when many women are asking, "How are we still here?" FoundHer House represents how younger generations have responded to industry shifts, Neu said. "I think they're on the frontier," said Neu. "We had a playbook for thinking about how to support women, and that evolved over the past 10 to 15 years ... (FoundHer House) is designing a future they're actually interested in participating in." 'We fix a ratio wherever we go' Hacker houses are integral to Silicon Valley culture, group homes for tech aficionados with billion-dollar dreams looking to find that special idea or partner, all while solving the issue of San Francisco's expensive housing. Turning a housing problem into a business opportunity is a common theme in the internet age: Think back to the YouTube content creator houses of the 2010s or more recent viral Bop House, comprised of OnlyFans creators. There have also been other female hacker houses, like HackHer House. In most cases, these kinds of spaces are rarely majority women, FoundHer House co-founders Miki Safronov-Yamamoto, 18, and Anantika Mannby, 21, told USA TODAY. "We quickly realized those spaces aren't designed with women in mind," Safronov-Yamamoto said. "A change needed to happen." So the University of Southern California sophomores found a rental property in March and pitched venture capital firms to help subsidize rent. "Taking the bet on making it happen was the hard part," Mannby said. When some VCs didn't offer support, the two were "fierce and unrelenting," she said. "That's a thread through all the girls in the house, you have to be a little bit crazy and self confident in order to do these things," Mannby said. Nearly 100 young women applied to live in the house for the summer and eight were accepted. Safronov-Yamamoto said a core requisite in applicants was "kindness." "We were able to get such a diverse set of people," Mannby said. She added the women living in the house run the gamut from college drop-outs to a former Team USA karate athlete. Residents pay just over $1,000 per month, sleeping two per room (average rent in the city is at least $3,000 for a one-bedroom). They quickly formed a bond, mapping dreams for the summer on their communal white board. "We would plan out our all events," Mannby said. "And we'd show up in flocks ... It's really cool when you walk into a room and see a sea of men and then there's group of eight girls. We like to say we fix a ratio wherever we go." Poole found the house through connections from a previous work experience. She wanted to be around other women who can talk at the dinner table about things like honing agentic systems, building secure stablecoin wallets and yes, Taylor Swift. "I wanted to go deeper," Poole said of why she applied. "To have a community of dreamers, not just supporters, and a place I could really work 24/7. It's nice to do that in a place that feels fun as well." Poole works to music at 2X speed reverbed, an indication the hustle isn't waning. But she also spent the weekend at a San Francisco Giants game and giggled through midnight pre-Demo Day delirium. "That energy is palpable and helps prevent burnout for me," Poole said. FoundHer House gives Poole balance and "femininity," she said. "It feels like we're all helping each other," she said. "Every conversation, I'm helping move the boat an inch forward and everyone's rowing." Influencers meet entrepreneurs The women living in FoundHer House are the latest in a wave of entrepreneurs leaning on influencer tactics to extend their reach. The house built on members' existing followings. Fatima Hussain, 19, runs @ an Instagram guide to college with over 100,000 followers. Mannby has nearly 60,000 Instagram followers personally and her company, Treffa, has over 30,000. Their roommates' high engagement inspired Safronov-Yamamoto and fellow resident Chloe Hughes, 21, to start creator profiles, too. Brand partnerships in the form of yacht parties, ping-pong tournaments and Nobu dinners in New York City hosted by Rho, a business bank that supports FoundHer House, have provided financial support. "Our thinking was there's so many women who haven't moved to SF, who haven't taken that leap," Mannby said. "But the more we share our stories and our lives, the more it inspires people to take the leap themselves." With their rising profiles has come some judgement, Safronov-Yamamoto said: "We have had our fair share of hate comments on our personal social media accounts ... They're doubting or work or doubting our abilities." But social media helps them raise awareness that tech jobs exist for young women, Poole said. "We want to give women a platform to come to SF, get to know the tech scene and be in a place they can reach out because they know they exist and feel confident enough to do that," Poole said. "That supersedes these other ripple effects going on." It's working. When YC, an accelerator company, hosted undergraduates at its AI Startup School in San Francisco in June, a group chat of women in attendance was created. All 20 members of the group chat showed up at FoundHer House's front door. The moment was a realization of the house's influence. "They didn't even ask, they said, 'We're coming,'" Poole said. "They were so excited and kept asking if they could come live in the house." What's next? As summer winds down, FoundHer House members are planning their next moves. Some are moving into offices, instead of school. Others are considering time away from academia. Poole will stay enrolled at Cornell, but aims to live in New York City to work on Paygent, her startup that is a wallet that manages financial apps, rewards and subscriptions ("Apple Pay 2.0!" Poole calls it). She's learned to value community more than ever and wants to surround herself with people that give the same feeling FoundHer House provided. "It feels like there's always someone there to lift you up, especially in a space that's so risky," Poole said. "It's that extra feeling of someone has my back always."

Labor Day: What's open, what's closed

Labor Day might have begun as a holiday for workers, but a lot of workers won't get the day off in 2025 — especially retail employees. USA Today reported on July 30 that most major retailers will be open Monday. The one exception will be Costco. 'This holiday, often seen as the final farewell to summer, is usually jam-packed with fantastic end-of-the-season deals,' the publication said. 'The most sought-after Labor Day deals are typically found on big-ticket items like mattresses appliances and furniture (especially outdoor patio sets, equipment and grills.' The holiday also offers sales on electronics and apparel, including summer clearances, according to USA Today. While retail employees labor away, most government offices, the U.S. Post Office and banks will be closed. What restaurants are open on Labor Day? A Reader's Digest survey indicated major restaurant chains that will be open are: Applebee's Buffalo Wild Wings Chili's Cracker Barrel IHOP Jimmy John's Olive Garden Red Lobster Texas Roadhouse Hours may vary depending on location. The survey indicates most fast food chains will also be open. Where are the origins of Labor Day? The U.S. Labor Department said Labor Day is an 'annual celebration of the social and economic achievements of American workers.' The department said the holiday is rooted in the late 1800s when labor activists pushed for a federal holiday to recognize the contributions of American workers. Several states began recognizing a labor holiday in 1887. President Grover Cleveland signed a law in 1894 that made it a national holiday. The National Constitution Center said the first Labor Day celebration focused on parades, and the holiday has become publicly perceived as the end of the summer season. The center said in an earlier time, etiquette authority Emily Post declared it a fashion no-no to wear white after Labor Day because it showed you were in vacation mode at your summer cottage.
