Fourth Of July 2020: What Stores Are Open & Closed On Independence Day?

Since Fourth of July is a federal holiday, there may be confusion surrounding what major stores and restaurants you can still shop and eat at. Not to fear — we did the leg work for you.

This year, the Fourth of July arrives at a much different social climate than years past. A pandemic has already closed businesses nationwide, and injustices are being fought harder than ever before. There’s most likely confusion surrounding what stores and restaurants will actually be open (or closed) on this federal holiday. We broke down a list of establishments for you:

Fast Food 

For starters, we’ll tackle the No. 1 go-to destination in America: fast food! Burger King, Chick-fil-A, Chipotle, Dairy Queen, Firehouse Subs, Jack in the Box, Jimmy John’s, KFC, Krispy Kreme, McDonald’s, Rubio’s Coastal Grill, Starbucks, Sonic Drive-In, Steak ‘n Shake, The Coffee Bean Tea Leaf, Panera Bread and Whataburger will all be open. Please call in to check if your local establishment has special holiday hours.

Restaurants

Make sure to call in and ask if dine-in services are still available, since each state has its own reopening plans amid the coronavirus outbreak. The following restaurants will be available to order from: Applebee’s, Arby’s, Bahama Freeze, Bonefish Grill, Boston Market, Buffalo Wild Wings, Chili’s, Cracker Barrel, Denny’s, Hooters, IHOP, LongHorn Steakhouse, Olive Garden, Outback, P.F.
