Thanksgiving Store Hours: Stores Open Or Closed In Geneva Area

KANE COUNTY, IL — Thanksgiving is generally reserved for family time, watching football and eating too much turkey. But more and more people are looking to get a jump on Black Friday every year by hitting the stores a day early.

If you're among those looking for a holiday bargain, several stores in Geneva and the Kane County area will remain open on Thanksgiving, according to BestBlackFriday.com, a website that tracks news and trends related to spending on Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Among the stores that will remain open on turkey day are CVS and Bed Bath and Beyond.

"Thanksgiving Day continues to be big business for retailers which remain open, as well as those who offer giant savings and discounts online. In 2018, Thanksgiving Day generated $3.7 billion in online sales," BestBlackFriday noted.

Sales on the stuffing-filled holiday are expected to go up even more in 2019, according to a recent forecast from Adobe.

The computer software company projected Thanksgiving Day sales will increase by 19.5 percent this year, generating $4.4 billion. Adobe's predictions are based on an analysis of over 1 trillion visits to retail sites.

Despite the increase in sales, a survey conducted by BestBlackFriday found only 28 percent of polled shoppers thought stores should remain open on Thanksgiving.

A few states — Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Maine — go so far as to ban retailers from opening on the holiday.
