Consumers needing to pick up last-minute burgers, chips or refreshments for their Fourth of July gathering will have plenty of options this year.
While banks and the United States Postal Service offices will be closed on the 4th of July, most grocery store chains will be open in some capacity.
Companies such as Walmart, Target, Kroger and Publix will be open normal hours on the holiday, while others like Trader Joe's and Aldi will be open limited hours.
The origins of the Fourth of July date back to when Philadelphians marked the first anniversary of American independence with a "spontaneous celebration," which is described in a letter by John Adams to his daughter, Abigail, according to the Library of Congress.
However, the annual observation of the holiday only became a regular occurrence after the War of 1812, where events such as groundbreaking ceremonies for the Erie Canal and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad were scheduled to coincide with Fourth of July festivities. Congress passed a law making Independence Day a federal holiday on June 28, 1870.
Here's what you need to know about grocery stores and whether or not they'll be open on the Fourth of July.
