Thanksgiving 2017: Open / Closed In Brookline

1934

You might be out of luck if you wake up Thursday and remember you forgot something you need to make Thanksgiving dinner. For those of you who’ve lived here all your life, you know the drill: Because of the state’s “Blue Laws” restaurants, pharmacies, gas stations, and small food stores can open for Thanksgiving but chains big box stores or liquor stores cannot. You can try a local convenience store in an emergency but call ahead as many of them have adjusted their hours, too.

Here is a list of day before Thanksgiving hours for grocery chains. Those outside of town may vary. We have also started a list of convenience stores open for the holiday.
