Kohl's to Close 27 Stores Across 15 States by Saturday

The closures mark a key step in the retailer's restructuring plan under new CEO Ashley Buchanan as it navigates declining sales and shifting market trends.

Kohl's will close 27 underperforming stores across 15 states, with the final day of operations set for March 29, 2025.
The closures are part of a broader transformation strategy that includes workforce reductions, leadership changes, and the upcoming closure of an e-commerce fulfillment center in May.
Kohl's experienced a 7.2% decline in annual sales in 2024 and projects a further 2% decrease in sales for 2025.
Employees at the closing stores have been offered severance packages or opportunities to apply for other roles within the company.
Despite the closures, Kohl's will continue to operate over 1,120 stores nationwide as it seeks to stabilize operations and reposition for long-term success.
