Need to pick up some champagne for your last-minute New Year’s Eve party? Then you’re in luck.
Package stores in Massachusetts are allowed to stay open until 11:30 p.m. on New Year’s Eve, according to the Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission.
The term “package store” applies to liquor stores, convenient stores, gas stations, supermarkets and box stores such as Costco, BJ’s and Total Wine.
While these businesses have the option to stay open until 11:30 p.m. on Dec. 31, they can choose to close sooner.
So it may be worth checking your local package store for hours on New Year’s Eve.
