July the 4th store hours can vary wildly from location to location, so be sure to contact your local store to make sure that it's open. 

What Restaurants Are Open On July the 4th?

Like stores, many national restaurants should be open on the Fourth of July. Not surprising, since many families head to a restaurant instead of having a cookout of their own. National chains like Applebee's and that old standby Denny's should be open on July the 4th. Once again, it's important to contact any location to confirm their operating hours before you head out.
