Most grocery store and retail chains will be open on Friday, July 4. Here's what you need to know about Target.

Not only is Target typically open on the 4th of July, but most stores also operate normal hours. This means you should not need to worry about arriving at Target too early or too late and finding that the store has already shut down operations for the night.

Target stores "will be open on the Fourth of July," the company told USA Today. However, the newspaper noted: "Store hours vary by location, so check with your local store regarding its specific holiday hours." Walmart stores are also open on July 4 if that suits your needs instead.
