Luckily, Independence Day isn’t just about fireworks and backyard BBQs—it’s also one of the biggest shopping weekends of the summer. Still, not everything is open. To help you avoid any holiday hiccups, we’ve rounded up some of the most popular stores across the U.S. that will be open on America’s birthday.
