Framingham Board approves Carvana’s new operating hours amid delivery discussion

Framingham's City Board of License Commissioners has approved a change in operating hours for Carvana LLC, a vehicle vending service located at 63 Western Ave. The new hours will allow Carvana to operate from Monday to Saturday, 7 AM to 9 PM, and on Sundays from 8 AM to 9 PM, with the adjustment of Sunday hours being a key point of discussion.

During the meeting on February 24, 2025, board members deliberated on the proposed changes, which were aimed at accommodating both the business's needs and community concerns regarding noise. The decision to roll back Sunday opening hours by one hour was seen as a compromise to provide residents with additional quiet time on Sunday mornings.

The motion to approve the new hours was passed with a vote of 4 to 1, reflecting a consensus among most board members on the need for flexibility while also considering the community's well-being. Commissioner McCullough was the sole dissenting vote, indicating some reservations about the changes.

The board expressed appreciation for Carvana's business in Framingham and emphasized the importance of balancing operational needs with community impact. The decision is expected to enhance Carvana's service while addressing local residents' concerns about noise during early weekend hours.
