CO Stores Closed On Thanksgiving 2018: Costco, Nordstroms & More

ACROSS COLORADO – The biggest shopping occasion of the year is almost here. But if you plan to hit the stores soon after you’ve recovered from your Thanksgiving food coma, know that many retailers in Colorado plan to stay closed on Turkey Day.

A list compiled by BestBlackFriday.com tallying the stores closed on Thanksgiving has been updated since it was first published in October. The website has found that a total of 76 retailers will be closed on Nov. 22.

BestBlackFriday.com says it confirmed each store’s closed status with a representative or PR contact. The list also includes big-name grocery stores, including Costco, Publix and Trader Joe’s, that will be closed on Thanksgiving.

Some companies gave statements about why they wanted to close their doors and forego possible profits from early holiday shopping. Here are some of the statements given by company spokespersons:

Academy Sports – “As a family-oriented store, Academy Sports + Outdoors keeps its locations closed on Thanksgiving because we believe it is important to provide our team members and customers the opportunity to spend more time with family and friends.”

Costco – “As an appreciation of all the hard work our employees do over the course of the year, we have always closed on Thanksgiving to give our employees a chance to relax and enjoy time with their families.”

Guitar Center – “At its core, music is about bringing people together. Guitar Center will close all stores on Thanksgiving Day to ensure our store employees have the opportunity to spend quality time with friends and family, fostering connections and shared experiences through music.” – Wayne Colwell, EVP of Stores, Guitar Center

Mattress Firm – “At Mattress Firm, we value the importance of family and tradition. As in years past, we will not be opening our stores on Thanksgiving Day. We appreciate the hard work and dedication of our employees throughout the year. We know the power of sleep and believe our team deserves this time to rest and spend time with their loved ones.” – Steve Stagner, executive chairman, president and CEO of Mattress Firm

TJX Group – “Similar to years past, T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, HomeGoods, Sierra Trading Post, and Homesense stores will be closed on Thanksgiving and are scheduled to open on Friday morning, November 23.
