California will experience the highest number of closures, with 10 stores shutting down, reflecting a major shift in the company’s regional strategy.
Why is Kohl’s closing these stores?
The decision to close these locations is primarily driven by declining sales, changing consumer behavior, and shifting priorities within the company’s business model. Over the past several years, Kohl’s has struggled with diminishing foot traffic and increasing competition from both e-commerce platforms and other major retailers.
In response to these challenges, the company has been reevaluating its store performance and cutting costs, leading to the current wave of closures. As part of this restructuring, Ashley Buchanan, a former Walmart executive, was appointed as the new CEO of Kohl’s in January 2025. Buchanan succeeds Tom Kingsbury, who stepped down after acknowledging strategic missteps, such as reducing private-label brands and shifting merchandise offerings, which alienated some loyal customers.
Additionally, the company is shutting down its e-commerce fulfillment center in San Bernardino, California, which is expected to streamline its distribution processes and improve efficiency.
