The Fourth of July is right around the corner, bringing a welcome three-day weekend for millions of Americans.
Nice to know, but what’s really important is whether your favorite grocery store is open in case you forgot to pick up hot dogs for the grill, a watermelon or maybe just extra ice to help keep those drinks cool in the Florida heat.
