Kohl’s plans to close 27 “underperforming” stores by April 2025.
In a Jan. 9 press release, the Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin-based retailer said “all associates have been notified [of the closures] and offered a competitive severance package or the opportunity to apply to other open positions at Kohl’s.” The company, which has more than 1,150 locations, also thanked its employees for their work.
“While Kohl’s continues to believe in the health and strength of its profitable store base, these particular locations were underperforming stores,” it said in a statement.
In a statement, Kohl’s CEO Tom Kingsbury added: “We always take these decisions very seriously. As we continue to build on our long-term growth strategy, it is important that we also take the difficult but necessary actions to support the health and future of our business for our clients and our teams.”
