Give Us Your Opinion
The WBJ Daily Report Flash Poll seeks the votes and viewpoints of Central Massachusetts business leaders each week on a topic of importance. Please take a minute or two to read the question below and the details behind it, then cast your vote and add your opinion. The results will be announced in Thursday's edition of the WBJ Daily Report.
THIS WEEK'S QUESTION:
It was announced recently that Framingham's Staples will not open its stores on Thanksgiving, instead promoting its online sales that day and its 6 a.m. Black Friday opening. This marks diverging trends of retailers either opening for extended hours on Thanksgiving or not at all.
Do you think retailers should be closed on Thanksgiving?
Yes. Being open is not worth it when balanced against employee morale and business image.
Yes. Online sales can be used to balance out any losses for retailers.
No. Retailers cannot afford to limit themselves to this degree.
No. This is too much of a shopping event to be limited to Black Friday.

This week's Flash Poll seeks your vote and opinion on this topic. Voice your opinion now!
