The Fourth of July holiday will mean a number of closures and hours changes across the U.S. Friday, but what about grocery stores in the Chicago area?

Friday, July 4, is Independence Day. For many people, it’s a day to kick back, relax and enjoy a few Fourth of July activities, like watching fireworks, hosting a patriotic party or heading to the beach.

If you’re in the market to pick up some fun summer items for your pup, kitty, gerbil or cockatiel, you’re in luck because Aldi stores will be open on the Fourth of July. That means your four-legged friend can get in on the star-spangled fun, and you’ll still be able to stay on budget.
