Why Kohl's is closing their stores across the United States?

The decision to shut down these stores was announced in January, alongside broader changes within the company. These changes include modifications to the executive team, a 10% reduction in its corporate workforce, and the cessation of Amazon product returns in certain stores. Additionally, an e-commerce fulfillment center in San Bernardino, California, will also close in May.

In response to the closures, Kohl's has offered affected employees a competitive severance package or the chance to apply for other positions within the company. The company emphasized that these difficult decisions are necessary for securing its future and strengthening its position in the market.

Although the closures represent a significant shift, Kohl's is optimistic that these adjustments will better position the company to compete in the evolving retail landscape, with an increasing focus on e-commerce.
