Independence Day leads to a surprising amount of spending. For 2018, one estimate showed Americans would shell out $6.9 billion on food alone. That total doesn’t include other costs, like fireworks or party supplies, gas for traveling, or festive attire. Since shopping is a big part of celebrating the occasion, knowing which stores are open on July 4th is helpful. If you are thinking about heading to Target on July 4, here’s an answer to the important question, “Is Target open on the 4th of July?”

Is Target Open on 4th of July 2019?

Yes, Target is open on Independence Day. The retailer follows its typical operating hours at all of the chain’s locations on July 4th, so you don’t even have to worry about late openings or early closures.

Target even has a sale acknowledging the holiday, featuring a variety of seasonal items that you may need to help with your celebration. Discounts on home décor, summer attire, swimsuits, grills, and outdoor items are available, allowing you to save on a range of summertime needs.

Plus, you’ll find themed party supplies in fun stars and stripes patterns, ensuring your décor is one point for your backyard barbecue or party.

Target Holiday Schedule 2019

While government agencies and post offices close on all federal holidays, nearly everything else can deviate at least slightly, and this can create a lot of confusion. Even the stock market doesn’t shut down on every federal holiday – which some find surprising – and many retailers choose to remain open to attract customers who may have the day off.

Retailers aren’t required to follow the federal holiday schedule. As a result, each store can set their own. Usually, this happens at the corporate level, ensuring all locations are open and closed on the same days.

Every Target follows the same holiday schedule as dictating by the Target corporate office. Here is when Target will be open and closed in 2019:

Tuesday, January 1, New Year’s Day: Target is open

Monday, January 21, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day: Target is open

Wednesday, January 1, 2020, New Year’s Day: Target is open

It’s important to note that other chain retailers, like Walmart and Costco, as well as grocery stores and restaurants, have their own holiday schedules. If you want to head to several places when you visit Target on July 4, check with each location in advance to make sure they will be open on Independence Day.

Target Store Hours 2019

While not all Target stores have the exact same schedule, most open and close at about the same times. Here is a typical Target’s schedule:

Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 10:00 pm

Saturday from 8:00 am to 10:00 pm or 11:00 pm

Sunday from 8:00 am to 10:00 pm

Usually, if you find a Target that deviates from the norm, it is either in a big city or small town. Target locations in large metro areas may have longer hours. Stores in small towns might open later or close earlier.

If you want to head to Target in the early morning or late at night, it is smart to contact your nearest store before you make the trip to confirm it will be open. You can also view individual Target store’s hours online if you prefer to check yourself instead of calling.
