Understanding What's Open and Closed on July 4th, 2024

Independence Day, celebrated on July 4th, is a cherished holiday in the United States. However, as with any major holiday, it also means that the operations of numerous services and institutions are going to be affected. Knowing what will be open or closed can help you plan your celebrations without unexpected disruptions.

This Independence Day, many key services will be closed. This includes notable closures such as banks, the U.S. Postal Service, UPS, FedEx, and even Wall Street. For individuals needing financial services, it's important to note that while banks will be closed, online banking and ATMs will still be available for transactions.

Major Financial Institutions and Postal Services

Financial institutions, including major banks like Wells Fargo, Bank of America, and Chase Bank, will shut their doors in observance of the holiday. This means no in-person banking services will be available. However, the digital age has made managing money more flexible. Customers can still access essential banking needs via mobile applications and ATMs for both deposits and withdrawals.

The impact isn't just limited to banks. The U.S. Postal Service will also take a day off. Consequently, there will be no mail delivery services or counter operations at post offices. For those expecting packages, both UPS and FedEx will also pause most of their operations. Some FedEx Office Print & Ship Centers may offer limited services, but it's strongly recommended to confirm their operational status before making any visit.

Retail and Grocery Stores

On the retail front, it's a bit of a mixed bag. Certain retailers like Costco will close their doors, while others see this as an opportunity to cater to the festive mood and shopping needs of consumers. Stores like Bass Pro Shops, Belk, Best Buy, CVS, and Home Depot will remain open. These stores often adjust their hours, sometimes opening for shorter periods, so it's wise to check their schedules ahead of time.

Grocery stores are also responding to the holiday in various ways. Despite some closures, many grocery chains including Aldi, Food Lion, Giant Eagle, Kroger, and Trader Joe's will be operational. This is extremely helpful for families looking to grab last-minute items for their holiday cookouts and gatherings. Prepare your shopping list and verify each store’s hours to ensure you don’t arrive at closed doors.

Planning Ahead

In order not to be caught off guard, it’s a good idea to plan ahead. If you need banking services or expect to receive mail or packages, it's prudent to handle those tasks before the holiday. Utilize online banking to manage your financial needs and take advantage of ATMs for cash withdrawals or deposits. For sending or receiving parcels, check with local FedEx locations if they are offering any limited services.

An important reminder: Check the operating hours of any store you plan to visit. Holiday hours can vary significantly between different branches of the same chain. A phone call or a quick internet search will save you from the frustration of finding your go-to place unexpectedly closed.

Independence Day is a time for celebration and relaxation, and proper planning can go a long way in ensuring your holidays are as smooth as possible. By being aware of what's open and what's not, you can avoid last-minute hurdles and enjoy the day with your loved ones.

Take this time to get together with friends and family, indulge in festive activities, and perhaps even enjoy the holiday sales. A little preparation can help make sure you spend less time worrying about logistical details and more time enjoying the fireworks and festivities.
