Independence Day is a time for Americans to celebrate their country and the values that make it great. On July 4th, people across the nation will gather to barbecue, watch fireworks, and enjoy a day off work. This year, Independence Day falls on a Thursday, which means there are plenty of opportunities to celebrate with loved ones and friends.
When it comes to shopping for groceries or specialty goods, there are many options available. Walmart and Target will remain open on Independence Day along with most grocery stores under Kroger. Whole Foods stores will also be open for those looking for more upscale options. However, Trader Joe’s locations will close early at 5 pm. It’s always best to check with local retailers and restaurants for their specific hours before visiting.
While some services may be closed on Independence Day, such as the United States Postal Service, UPS, most FedEx services, Federal Reserve banking services, non-essential government offices including the DMV and public libraries will also be closed. However, online banking services and ATMs will still be available for those who need them.
Overall, Independence Day is an opportunity to celebrate American culture and traditions while taking advantage of the many shopping opportunities available. With proper planning and awareness of each establishment’s operating hours on July 4th, there is no reason why you can’t make the most of this holiday weekend!
