Other Info

Under Massachusetts' Blue Laws, Thanksgiving Day is regarded as a "restricted" holiday. This means that most retail businesses may not operate on Thanksgiving Day, aside from a few exceptions. If you absolutely cannot wait until Black Friday, Nov. 25, to kick off your shopping season, you can make your way to Connecticut or New Hampshire where Thanksgiving Day retail is allowed.

While many big box retailers value Black Friday as their biggest sales day of the year, REI (Recreational Equipment, Inc.) will be closed on Black Friday, as well as on Thanksgiving. The chain has stores in Reading, Boston, Framingham and Hingham.

Other national chains that will continue the holiday shopping binge with early doorbuster specials on Black Friday are: Target, Best Buy, Toys R Us, Kohl’s, Sears, Macy’s and Dick’s Sporting Goods.
