Three cheers for the U.S.A.!
It's America's big birthday and in honor of the holiday, you might have a few fun Fourth of July activities planned to celebrate Independence Day.
Whether you're hosting friends and family for a star-spangled celebration or have plans to watch the 2024 Macy's fireworks show, you're probably going to need at least a few essentials from the grocery store.
If you've already stocked up, well done! If not, a last-minute trip to your favorite grocer might be in order, and if that's the case, you might be wondering what grocery stores are open on July 4th this year.
Given that the Fourth of July is one of 11 federal holidays recognized annually, it's fair to ask if any of your go-tos will be closed in observance of the holiday.
Because much like banks and post offices, some retailers close their doors on July 4th in order to give their employees the day off.
Thankfully, we've got a rundown of which grocery stores will be open on Independence Day this year, as well as which popular grocer won't.
And trust us, you're going to want to know because regardless of what you need to pick up from the store — whether it's sunscreen, bug spray, picnic essentials or a gallon of milk — you're not going to want to drive all the way to your favorite retailer just to discover it's closed.
So, read on to ensure that you've got everything you need to make this year's July Fourth celebration truly sparkle.
