I live in MA. Stores are not allowed to open on Thanksgiving. Towns also dictate when they can open on Friday. Our WalMart opened at 5am (I think) last year. Even the stores that are open (pharmacy CVS) they can't sell the sale items until 5am. One Outlet opened at 12am (different town) and was CRAZY from what I heard. 2 hours waiting to get off the highway to get to it!
