Is Walmart open on July 4th? These are the stores that are open: Walmart, Target, Home Depot hours, etc.

The country will be celebrating its independence on the Fourth of July holiday on Thursday.

The observation of Independence Day was ratified on June 28, 1870, when Congress decreed July 4 as a federal holiday. The origin of this celebration dates back to 1776 when representatives of the 13 colonies adopted the Declaration of Independence from Great Britain, a document that recognizes the United States as an independent nation.

What’s Closed?

Being a national holiday, government offices, as well as post offices, libraries, schools, the stock exchange and banks generally remain closed, but what about supermarkets, pharmacies and restaurants?

Many retailers take advantage of the 4th of July holiday to offer special promotions and discounts on select items. According to a survey by coupon company RetailMeNot, half of Americans intend to take advantage of the marked-down prices available on this day.

Will hardware stores be open?

If you’re planning a trip to Lowe’s, Home Depot, or Ace Hardware on the Fourth of July, you might be in luck—depending on where you live and what time you go.

Both Lowe’s and Home Depot are expected to be open on Independence Day, typically operating during regular business hours. Most locations open around 6 a.m. and close by 10 p.m., though some may close earlier in observance of the holiday. It’s always a good idea to check your local store’s hours online before heading out.

Ace Hardware is a bit different. Since most Ace stores are independently owned and operated, hours can vary significantly from one location to another. Some stores may open for limited hours, while others may remain closed for the day.
