Though the very first Kohl’s opened in Wisconsin, the department store is very much a national entity. It boasts 1,158 stores across 49 states and employs more than 40,000 people: it’s one of the largest department stores in America. Since its doors opened in 1962, Kohl’s has become known for selling everything from housewares and furniture to bedding and bath products. The department store’s specialty, however, remains clothing. Shoppers can browse racks of women’s, men’s, and kids’ clothing from brands such as Nike, Columbia, Levi’s, Woolrich, Simply Vera Vera Wang, and more. International celebrities, including Jennifer Lopez, Lauren Conrad, and Gloria Vanderbilt, have developed their own only-for-Kohl’s lines. If you’re shopping for your home, you can choose from known, trusted brands, including Keurig, KitchenAid, Calphalon, Dyson, Food Network, and Samsonite. You can also support your favorite team when you shop at Kohl’s: the department store sells fan gear from the National Football League, the NCAA, Major League Baseball, National Hockey League, National Basketball Association, and Major League Soccer.
