Let’s Celebrate July 4th! It’s a Big Weekend for the U.S.

After a lingering pandemic, expect this summer’s 4th of July Weekend to be big in terms of cookouts and community celebrations, as consumers are eager to gather and celebrate with loved ones. This means big spending on food and food items – a great opportunity for quick-service restaurants and grocery stores.

LET’S DECORATE: RETAIL + CPG PURCHASE TRENDS ARE BIG

Last year, an increased number of people bought patriotic items: apparel, decorations, or other red, white and blue merchandise. Some experts predict a continuing “decorating frenzy” that began during the pandemic. As holiday celebrations were forced to downsize, retailers saw consumers increasing the number of decorations they were buying to channel their enthusiasm into public displays from their homes. Weekend promotions and preparations for hosting also encouraged consumers to pay extra on consumer packaged goods (CPGs) and household products.
