Food
When you’re searching for an item in a pinch, look to these supermarkets.
It can be a challenge to pick up last minute items the day of Thanksgiving, when you’re missing an ingredient or are in a bind. Maybe you forgot the cranberries, or you’re realizing that there aren’t enough green beans. When you need to run to the supermarket, it’s helpful to know which ones in Boston will still be open on the holiday.
Massachusetts Blue Laws control operating hours for certain retail establishments on Sundays and holidays, and so many major grocery stores will be closed on Thanksgiving. You won’t be able to visit Whole Foods, Market Basket, Trader Joe’s, or Stop & Shop, but there are a few other places that will remain open.
