15 Chain Stores & Restaurants Offering MDW Discounts
It’s always good to shop local, and you can score big deals and discounts at these local *chain* businesses this holiday weekend.

Here at BERGEN magazine, we’re all about shopping small and supporting our local restaurants and businesses. In fact, that’s what we celebrate with our annual Readers’ Choice Awards, and we feature as many local merchants as possible in every issue of our Bergen Buzz newsletter. Sometimes, however, it pays to shop one of the big chains—and Memorial Day Weekend is one of them.
Why? Because there are plenty of sales, discounts and special offers during MDW that are too good to pass up. So check out these chain stores and restaurants below, each with Bergen locations, and how to get in on the deals. P.S.: Check out their websites too for even more markdowns.
