With the Fourth of July coming up in a few days, many stores where you could usually order enough for the whole family will be closed for the day. However, if you don’t plan on cooking out on the grill, we’ve rounded up a few options. These local favorites plan to stay open for the holiday so you can enjoy the fireworks on a full stomach.
