Question: Shopping on July 4 in Brooklyn: Are Stores, Atlantic Center,Shopping Malls Open?
So you have the day off for July 4th, or are visiting Brooklyn for the long weekend. Can you go shopping in Brooklyn's Malls, such as the Atlantic Center or Kings Plaza mall? How about local stores?
Answer: Yes, many of Brooklyn's national chain stores in malls are open on July 4th.
July 4th is a holiday for picnics and parades, fireworks and family fun. But it's also a day for shopping, if you head to a Brooklyn mall. Precisely because it's a national holiday, many national chains stay open. And so do some local stores, as well.
Why? Because, said one bookseller in Fort Greene, "Half of New York City leaves for the Fourth of July but the other half stays — and a lot of them use the day to shop."
