Consumers aren't surprised lately that department stores are failing in today's economy, and Kohl's is next up on the chopping block. The company has tried everything from rearranging store layouts to musical chairs with their CEOs, but that hasn't translated to increased sales.

Kohl's recently announced that 27 underperforming stores will close by April, and the company will eliminate about 10% of the workforce in its headquarters. See which stores are saying goodbye first, and find out if you'll have to find a new place to save money shopping.

Bottom line

Kohl's has suffered 11 consecutive fiscal quarters of sales declines, and their share price plummeted over 50% in 2024. The major retail brand operates about 1,150 stores nationwide, so the total cuts represent less than 3% of their retail locations.

Kohl's isn't the only company slated for shutdowns. Department store rival Macy's also revealed it will be closing 66 stores early this year. So get ready to grab your favorite top rewards credit cards and hit some store closure sales.
