The Fourth of July is one of the most important dates in the United States, as it commemorates the anniversary of the country’s Independence. The event formally marks the separation of the 13 colonies from the British Empire in 1776.

Due to this celebration, Congress established the Fourth of July as a federal holiday, which means that government offices and institutions do not conduct operations on this day. But what about private businesses and companies such as supermarkets? Do they operate during normal hours?

Below are the hours of various stores and supermarkets in the US on Tuesday.
