Walmart reveals if it will open on Juneteenth

Retailers and grocery store chains tend to reduce their regular hours of operation or temporarily close down their businesses to allow employees to be with their families, observe the day, or get an extra day off.

However, Walmart  (WMT)  knows the vital role it plays in consumers’ everyday lives, as it has become many people’s go-to place for anything from groceries to electronics.  

Walmart usually closes on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, which might lead some to wonder if it will also close on Juneteenth.
