Here’s when 11 grocery store & pharmacy chains will be open on July 4th in the Hilton Head area

The summer’s main holiday is nearly here.

Last-minute shopping trips before a family and friends barbecue or 4th of July party frequently become necessary amid such gatherings, events and celebrations. Whether you’ve forgotten to get a necessary ingredient, needing to pick up a catering order or there is a last-minute guest joining your celebrations, Independence Day certainly isn’t exempt from the holiday mania.

With July 4th being a national holiday, many places may not be open on the official day or will have limited hours, while many others will have set hours.

Meanwhile, post offices will be closed on Thursday, meaning no mail will be delivered on the federal holiday.
