Daily Detroit News (Fresno, CA) –Kohl’s intends to close 27 of its underperforming shops by April 2025 as part of its turnaround strategy.
The Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin-based firm, which is under pressure from declining sales, claimed that all employees at the shutting locations “have been informed, and offered a competitive severance package or the ability to apply to other open roles at Kohl’s,” according to a Jan. 9 news release.
“While Kohl’s continues to believe in the health and strength of its profitable store base, these specific locations were underperforming stores,” the business claimed.
Also closing is an e-commerce fulfillment center in San Bernardino, California, which has been in business since 2010, and will close in May 2025. Kohl’s announced it can now fulfill consumer orders from store locations without using a fulfillment center.
“We always take these decisions very seriously,” stated CEO Tom Kingsbury, who will step down on January 15. “As we continue to build on our long-term growth strategy, it is important that we also take difficult but necessary actions to support the health and future of our business for our customers and our teams.”
Ashley Buchanan, the former CEO of Michaels Companies, will take over as Kohl’s CEO on January 15. Kingsbury will continue to serve as an advisor and on the company’s board until his retirement in May 2025.
In November 2024, Kohl’s stated that it expected a 7% to 8% decrease in 2024 sales. In February, the store discloses its full-year sales figures.
