By now, you may–or may not–have started your holiday shopping. One of the major places to visit in the city during this time of year is Shoppers World.

For this holiday season, though, we wanted to take a step back: to learn more about the innovative shopping center’s history, and what it was like to shop, visit, and gather at Shoppers World back in the day.

We were lucky enough to collaborate with the Framingham History Center to provide research and footage of Shoppers World in years’ past to you this week. We spoke with Executive Director of the History Center Anna Tucker to learn more about the unique offerings Shoppers World had during the holidays.
