37 Stores That Will NOT be Open on Thanksgiving in Illinois

Ahead of the biggest shopping weekend of the year, these are the stores who are giving their 'rockstar' employees a day to be home with the people they love.

Quite possibly the biggest 'closed of Thanksgiving' list we've seen in a while.

Target announced that they would not be open on Thanksgiving at the beginning of the year. Since that time, the list has grown.

Many U.S. retailers and box stores are choosing to remain closed on Thanksgiving regardless of the typical preparations needed to withstand that complete madness that is Black Friday.
