Known now as a day of patriotism and enjoying time off from work, the Fourth of July began the journey to becoming a quintessential American holiday in 1776, when the Second Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence.

Millions of Americans are expected to hit the road, taking advantage of the Fourth of July falling on a Friday this year.

If you’re one of the millions celebrating July 4th, you will be glad to know Walmart is open. Walmart stores will be open regular hours - typically 6 a.m.-11 p.m. for Supercenters and Neighborhood Markets. Some services may be limited on the holiday, however, so it’s always best to check ahead.
