Publix is open. A popular big box isn’t. Garbage pickup? Depends. What’s open on July 4
Tuesday brings another July 4, Independence Day, the national birthday for the United States. And there’s nothing more stars and stripes than making a buck, either by having your business open or working for overtime holiday pay.
So, rare is the business that’s closed, although one major retailer that closes on almost every national holiday will be closed on this one. Some of your tax dollars also will be at work, although most will be at rest.
Here’s what’s open and what’s closed on Tuesday, July 4.
