For those looking to stock up on last-minute supplies for their Fourth of July celebrations, most grocery store chains like Walmart, Target, Kroger, and Publix will be open for business on the holiday. Although banks and the USPS will be closed, shoppers will have plenty of options for burgers, chips, and refreshments at their local grocery store. The tradition of celebrating Independence Day dates back to Philadelphia's first anniversary of American independence and has since become a regular occurrence, with Congress officially declaring it a federal holiday in 1870. To ensure you don't miss out on your favorite stores' holiday hours, it's best to check with your local branch to confirm their Fourth of July schedule. From Trader Joe's to Aldi, Whole Foods to Meijer, most major grocery chains will be open in some capacity on the Fourth of July to meet all your party needs.
