Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is the cover photo for the next issue of Rolling Stone Magazine, angering many.

Several businesses with stores in Bedford are saying they won't sell the controversial Rolling Stone magazine cover featuring a photo of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

Among Bedford businesses boycotting the issue are CVS, Rite Aid and Walgreens. Shaw's, Kmart, Roche Bros. and Tedeschi Foods, which also have local locations, are also banning the issue.

Not everyone is refusing to sell the magazine, however. 7-Eleven, which has local stores in Manchester and Merrimack, said it will carry the latest issue, which hits shelves Friday.
