What’s closed and what’s open on Thanksgiving weekend in Kane County, IL, continues to evolve.
Here’s a quick look at the schedules of businesses, government offices and others.
Although many businesses are open and holding sales this weekend, more and more retailers this year are choosing to take the day off on Thanksgiving Day.
According to theblackfriday.com, the list of big-name stores closing on Thursday, Nov. 22, 2018, includes biggies like Costco, Ikea, Sam’s Club, Home Depot and Lowe’s.
Regarding local government, Kane County non-emergency offices are closed both Thursday, Nov. 22, and Friday, Nov. 23. Most offices of cities and villages are closed both days, but there are a few exceptions. (See below.)
Local libraries and park district office hours truly are a mixed bag. Virtually all are closed on Thanksgiving Day, but closings on Friday, Nov. 23, vary. Some libraries, like Geneva Public Library, close a little early on Thanksgiving eve but are open on the Friday after Thanksgiving.
Most banks are closed Thursday but open Friday. Ditto for post offices.
Most students have the week off, but some districts have parent conferences on Monday through Wednesday, and each district has its own schedule. The Batavia District 101 calendar, for example, says the Thanksgiving break is Wednesday, Nov. 21, through Friday, Nov. 23.
