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

Costco shoppers planning a holiday run should prepare in advance: All locations in the United States will be closed on July 4 in observance of Independence Day. The closure marks one of just a handful of days each year when the retailer shuts its doors nationwide.

No, Costco is not open on July 4th and will be closed on the 4th of July this year. So, to pick up a cheap rotisserie chicken or Kirkland hot dogs for your upcoming party, you’ll have to shop the day before the holiday.
