Anzac Day trading hours: Coles, Woolworths, Bunnings, Westfield ...
Anzac Day is a time to reflect and pay our respects to those who served in battle as dawn services are held across the country.
But like every other public holiday, there will be some changes to store trading hours across the country – with virtually nothing open in Queensland – so Aussies will need to plan ahead.
Whatever way you decided to spend the day, it’s important to be prepared so here is a handy list of what will be open across the nation on Thursday, April 25.
