Ah, we made it to Memorial Day Weekend! It’s the unofficial start of summer, a time to give thanks to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country, a three-day holiday for family fun and, our favorite, a stretch of days with can’t miss shopping!

Here at BERGEN magazine, we’re all about shopping small and supporting our local businesses. In fact, that’s what we celebrate with our annual Readers’ Choice Awards, and we feature as many mom-and-pop shops and 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. Check out these stores and restaurants below, each with Bergen locations, and how to get in on the deals.
