Many Retailers are Slated to be Open on July 4th in Massachusetts

While most retailers like Walmart, Target, Big Y, and more will be open on the Independence Day holiday, you should keep in mind that July 4th is a federal holiday.

Why This Matters to Massachusetts Residents

This matters because if you plan on conducting business with your local post office on July 4th, you'll have to wait as all post office branches will be closed. It doesn't matter where you live, whether it's Boston, Worcester, Springfield, or anywhere, your local post office won't be open on July 4th. This also means that mail delivery from the USPS will be suspended on the holiday.
