Many retailers and grocery stores will remain open on the Fourth of July, though some may operate on different hours. Major retailers, stores and restaurant chains including Walmart, Starbucks and McDonald's confirmed to USA Today that they will still be serving customers during the holiday.

No. United States stock markets are closed on Friday, July 4, 2025. According to the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq websites, their markets also close early (at 1 p.m.) on Thursday, July 3. The Federal Reserve considers the Fourth of July a bank holiday, meaning most banks will be closed.

This year, the 10th day of Muharram, Ashura, was observed on July 6. As it falls on a Sunday, there will be no separate public holiday. So, on July 7, banks, government offices, post offices, schools and other public institutions will remain open.
