July 4th is the day we all wear our best red, white, and blue hues, and get together for barbecues and brews to celebrate the OG Brexit.
This year the 4th of July is on a Friday, which could make it even more of a party. But what happens if you realize you're a little low on wings and beer and need to make a day-of grocery run?

Most holidays typically mean limited hours or outright closures for retailers, making people wonder whether their go-to grocery store is open.
There's nothing worse than showing up with your Trader Joe's with tote bags in hand, only to find a big Closed sign on the door.
So you might be wondering: “Is Trader Joe's open on the 4th of July?”
On almost every day of the year, whether you're planning to stock up on staples or just need to grab a few things for your BBQ, Trader Joe's is a safe bet.
The only holidays Trader Joe's closes for are New Year's Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day — but there's a caveat.
Trader Joe's July 4th hours
Trader Joe's closes early on Easter Sunday, Independence Day, Christmas Eve, and New Year's Eve.
July 4th isn't one of those holidays where you can expect most businesses to be closed. Some employees might even be happy to be working, since they could get premium pay.
Trader Joe's is said to be one of those companies that pays their employees a little extra for working when everyone else is playing. The company reportedly pays employees an extra $10 an hour if they work on Sundays or a holiday like the 4th of July.
Since most Trader Joe's will close early on July 4th, you'll want to check the company's website for your store's hours.
Most locations will open at their usual time — 8 a.m. or 9 a.m. — but they might be closing as early as 5 p.m.
You can check your local store hours on the Trader Joe's website.
