On July 4, we celebrate the United States of America’s birthday. Many of us honor Independence Day by spending time enjoying potato salad and burgers with friends and family, but others of us just may spend the day shopping.
Lucky for us, most stores are open on July 4 and the surrounding holiday weekend (and many are having sales). However, some may have modified hours, so it’s important to call individual locations and confirm they are open before venturing out.
Holidays are a great time to reconnect with loved ones and enjoy good food and even better times, but taking advantage of some sweet sales on summer must-haves while we’re at it can only add to the excitement!
Shopping tip: One of the best times to get Fourth of July products on sale is the day of the holiday and right after, so definitely look for clearance deals on all things red, white and blue.
