As Americans celebrate 249 years of independence with fireworks and barbecues, many businesses will be closed for the day. The Fourth of July marks the birth of American independence, the day the Declaration of Independence was adopted in 1776. As a federal holiday, the Fourth means many government offices, banks and some businesses will be closed, so it’s worth checking what’s open before heading out. This year, the Fourth of July will fall on a Friday. Target and Walmart locations will be open during their regular local hours. Most grocery stores under Kroger — which includes Fred Meyer, Dillons, Food 4 Less, Ralphs and QFC — will be open during their regular hours on July 4. However, store hours may vary by location. Whole Foods, Wegmans and Food Lion will also remain open as usual, while Trader Joe’s will close early at 5 p.m. ALDI stores will close at 4 p.m. Sam’s Club will be open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. for Plus members and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. for Club members. Costco warehouses, however, will be closed for the holiday.
