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. But not Illinois.

Here is the most updated information on the national retailers in Illinois that will remain open on Thanksgiving, and which will close for the day. Note: Store hours may vary based on location, so check your local store before heading out to shop.
