Kohl's is a department store chain with over 1,100 stores in 49 states. The company offers a variety of clothing, home goods, and electronics brands for men, women, and children. Kohl's is known for its discounts and sales, which attract shoppers throughout the year. In this article, we will take a closer look at the history of Kohl's, its merchandise selection, and some of the controversies surrounding the company.
Kohl's was founded in 1962 by Max Kohl. The first store was located in Brookfield, Wisconsin. The company expanded rapidly in the following years, opening stores across the United States. In the 1980s, Kohl's began to offer private label products under the "Apt. 9" brand name. In the 1990s, the company began to offer credit cards and introduced "Kohl's Cash," a loyalty program that gives shoppers discounts on future purchases.
Today, Kohl's offers a wide variety of merchandise from popular brands like Nike, Adidas, Levi's, KitchenAid, and more. The company also has partnerships with celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Lauren Conrad, and LC Lauren Conrad.
Despite its success, Kohl's has been involved in several controversies. In 2009, the company was accused of "bait and switch" pricing tactics after customers complained that they were charged higher prices than what was advertised. In 2012, Kohl's was also criticized for selling T-shirts with offensive slogans. The company later pulled the shirts from their stores.
Despite these controversies, Kohl's remains a popular shopping destination for families across the United States. Thanks to their sales and discounts, shoppers can find great deals on clothing and home goods.
