Twenty-seven “underperforming” Kohl’s stores are set to shutter this spring.
The locations, named late last week by Kohl’s, will permanently close their doors by April, according to the Wisconsin-based retailer.
“While Kohl’s continues to believe in the health and strength of its profitable store base, these specific locations were underperforming stores,” Kohl’s said.
The stores that Kohl’s has chosen to shutter are located in 15 states. In total, the retailer currently operates over 1,150 locations in the U.S.
“We always take these decisions very seriously,” Kohl’s CEO Tom Kingsbury said of the planned store and fulfillment center closures. “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.”
