Kohl’s is quietly closing another location but shoppers aren’t in the loop about post-holiday plans

Customers’ post-holiday plans are in jeopardy as KOHL’S is closing its prominent store location.

The department store chain is scheduled to leave the property shortly, even though there are no closing signs or confirmed liquidationsales.

Currently, Kohl’s operates more than 1,170 stores throughout 49 states.

According to The Enterprise, there are at least two lease advertisements for the store located at 501 Technology Center Drive in Stoughton, Massachusetts.

One of the ads, on the commercial real estate website LoopNet, which is run by CoStar Group, describes the facility where Kohl’s presently operates as being in “excellent condition” and suitable for “retail, industrial, and/or storage.”

The Stoughton Property Assessor website states that the space is owned or leased by RK Stoughton LLC.

It was constructed in 2004 and features three loading docks, 465 parking spaces, and 89,136 square feet of total space.

LEAVING SOON

The property has a negotiable lease term, states that it will be available on January 1, 2025, and includes a realtor’s contact details.

The store’s employee told The U.S. Sun that although the lease was up for renewal, they had not been informed of a closure and that they had received conflicting information about what would happen in the coming year.

For customers who regularly visit the Kohl’s store, which is roughly 22 miles south of Boston, the future is uncertain in light of the revelation.

Customers may need to adapt and be ready to visit other Kohl’s locations in the vicinity.

East Walpole, some 16 miles to the west, is the closest location.

BOUNCING BACK

In recent years, Kohl’s hasn’t shut down many locations.

According to USA Today, it suffered during the peak of the coronavirus outbreak in 2020, just like many other retailers.

At the start of the year, when things were at their worst, sales fell by almost 43.5%.

According to an afiscal study, Kohl’s recovered in the ensuing years and announced plans in May 2023 to open five new locations after the first two opened at the end of 2022.

Due to the openings, only one store closed in 2023.

It also stated earlier this year that Babies “R” Us pop-ups will be included in around the same number of stores, and around the same time, it announced the opening of Sephora pop-up shops within more than 250 Kohl’s.

Other closures in recent years have been rare, and when they have occurred, some of the chain’s new outlets have taken their place.

According to Glamour Dusk, the brand last experienced mass closures in 2016, closing 18 failing shops.

Employees at a Kohl’s in Herndon, Virginia, which is roughly 25 miles west of Washington, DC, informed local publication The Burn that the shop will be closing on January 18, 2025, in a scenario akin to the one at the Stoughton facility.

According to reports, the building would be divided into three distinct areas for upcoming retail operators.

Customers should be informed that at the end of November, Kohl’s will temporarily close all 1,170 of its outlets for the whole day.

Kohl’s also unveiled their amazing Black Friday sales, which included up to 50% off.
