Waiting until the last minute to get those Fourth of July barbecue groceries? Don’t worry; some stores will still have you covered.

Though the federal holiday means most government offices are closed, other businesses are staying open, albeit with limited hours for many.

But since the holiday is in the middle of summer and is among the busiest travel holidays of the year, most places that cater to visitors like hotels, gas stations and airports will be open  and busy.

Here’s the lowdown on the Fourth of July hours for some of your likely regular stops.

Government and banking

Nearly all nonessential government employees are off work on federal holidays, like July Fourth, as most of their offices are closed in observance.

Public schools, courts, the stock market and most banks will also be closed, though ATM and online services will be available.
