Christmas Tree Shops are a chain of stores that started in Yarmouthport, Massachusetts on Cape Cod as a complex of three small stores; the Front Shop, the Back Shop, and the Barn Shop. The multiple store location, located on Route 6A, explains why the name is Christmas Tree Shops instead of Christmas Tree Shop. Since the 1980s, the chain has slowly been expanding beyond Cape Cod, and it now has stores in eight different states (mostly in New England), which have made it a multi-million dollar corporation, with large super-stores. The original stores are seen as a local phenomenon, since it has become a must see destination for many visitors when traveling to Cape Cod. It has come to fame by selling products from decorations to food at low prices. Christmas Tree Shops has recently become a subsidiary of Bed Bath and Beyond.
Misconceptions
Although the name implies that it would sell only Christmas oriented products it sells an array of decorations from multiple religions and for multiple purposes. Also, Christmas products are only sold in the months leading to the holiday outside of some of the original Cape Cod locations which carry them year-round out of tradition.
