These Valley grocery stores are closed or closing early on July 4

Forget the mustard or ketchup for your Independence Day barbecue? Luckily, most Valley grocery stores will remain open on the holiday. However, some have modified hours and are closing early, so make sure to stop in for last-minute hot dogs and beer before the fireworks begin. One national grocery chain is taking the day off altogether.

Since July 4 falls on a Saturday this year, many companies are observing the holiday on Friday. But while workers may get the day off, grocery stores will be open and stocked with plenty of barbecue essentials all day on July 3.
