Kohl's Announces Select Real Estate Changes [Stores closing]
Kohl's ^ | January 10, 2025 | Staff

Posted on 01/10/2025 10:52:31 AM PST by Red Badger

San Bernardino E-commerce Distribution Center will close at end of lease term in May 2025

27 Kohl's stores in underperforming locations will close by April 2025

Kohl’s announced real estate changes for 2025, including the closure of its San Bernardino E-commerce Fulfillment Center (EFC) in May when the lease on that facility expires, and the closure of 27 underperforming stores, by April 2025.

The San Bernardino, Calif. facility has been in operation for Kohl's since 2010. It is one of 15 EFCs and Distribution Centers in Kohl's supply chain network across the country. In recent years, Kohl's has increased efficiencies with new technology capabilities at newer EFC facilities and has expanded the company's ability to fulfill customer orders from store locations, allowing the company to maintain its ability to fulfill orders without the San Bernardino facility.

Additionally, Kohl's announced plans to close 27 stores, as listed below, of its more than 1,150 locations. The closures will occur by April 2025. While Kohl's continues to believe in the health and strength of its profitable store base, these specific locations were underperforming stores.

All associates have been informed, and offered a competitive severance package or the ability to apply to other open roles at Kohl's. Kohl's thanks our associates for their work and is working to support our associates during this transition.

"We always take these decisions very seriously," said Tom Kingsbury, Kohl’s chief executive officer. "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."

Clearly California will get more Kohls store closures than any other state.

One thing about Los Angeles is the stores can save money on closings. Nature did it.

One report had a person pointing to the destroyed block that had “trendy shops and cafes where the owners of the multimillion dollar homes used to congregate. Now all burned to the ground.”

They have another location easier to get in and out of about 3 miles north of the location that they are closing in Dallas.

First time in maybe six years, went to Kohls (central FL) with dtr to get wedding items (her wedding), ended up with about $150 worth. Cashier said we could get 40% off if she applied for the Kohls card. She didn’t want to, so I did, figuring it would be one of the store cards of my youth, with a few hundred dollars limit. Turned out to be a Capital One card, and a $5K limit—who’s going to spend five large at Kohl’s? But it is now part of my cards-I-never-intend-to-use-but-might pile.

If you check, that card is good wherever Capital One is accepted, not just Kohl’s...........
