Select Starbucks venues and several other coffee shops are open on the 4th of July, but some may be operating on a modified schedule.
A spokesperson for Starbucks told CountryLiving.com in early June: “We are open on Independence Day in select store locations.
“Stores may occasionally adjust their hours based on business and customer needs, and customers can find specific store hours at Starbucks.com,” the spokesperson said.
Typical daily hours of operation at Starbucks stores are from around 5:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. local time.
COVID-19 Safety at Starbucks
The coffee chain has issued several COVID-19 safety measures, including an update on its face mask policy.
In a statement updated on June 29, the company said: “Starting July 5, fully-vaccinated partners who disclose their vaccination status will have the option to remove their facial covering while working, unless required by state and local jurisdictions.”
Before beginning their work shifts, employees are required to complete “a pre-check, including taking their temperature, to ensure they are ready and able to work,” the statement said.
The coffee chain also implemented “elevated cleaning and sanitizing protocols…cleaning high touch surface areas as frequently,” the company stated.
Plexiglass POS shields and bar guards have also been installed at its venues.
