Massachusetts closes most stores on Thanksgiving due to old religious laws, delaying Black Friday sales.
Massachusetts grocery and retail stores must close on Thanksgiving due to enduring Blue Laws rooted in Puritan-era religious traditions.
While exceptions exist for essential businesses like gas stations, pharmacies, small food stores, pet stores, florists, and hotels, most retailers remain shut.
As a result, Black Friday sales in the state typically start at midnight on Thanksgiving night, unlike in other states.
The Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation oversees compliance with these holiday commerce rules.
