Despite a recent industry-wide department store downturn that fueled online speculation regarding the future of the company, the newest Kohls entity may not be the last.

This article is based on corporate postings and accredited media reports. Linked information within this article is attributed to the following outlets: Wikipedia.org, ScrapeHero.com, and EchoPress.com.

Wikipedia features a comprehensive and highly-attributed overview of the Kohls chain: Kohl's (stylized in all caps) is an American department store retail chain, operated by Kohl's Corporation... The company was founded by Polish immigrant Maxwell Kohl, who opened a corner grocery store in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 1927. It went on to become a successful chain in the local area, and in 1962 the company branched out by opening its first department store.

Regarding location count, ScrapeHero.com features the most recently-updated number: There are 1,157 Kohls retail stores in the United States as of December 11, 2022. The state with the most number of Kohls locations in the U.S. is California, with 117 retail stores, which is about 10% of all Kohls retail stores in the U.S.

It should be noted NewsBreak has published several articles of mine on the Kohls franchise, most detailing issues of a sale that was expected industry-wide in 2022 and the anticipated repercussions thereof.

That expected sale, however, did not happen.

Regardless, a new Kohls entity will be opening in 2024.

Let us explore.

According to a report from EchoPress.com, entitled Kohl's to Open in Alexandria's Viking Plaza Mall Next April, the identity of the malls new tenant had been closely guarded until recently.

As excerpted from the article: National retailer Kohls is coming to the west wing of the Viking Plaza Mall in 2024. The mall is owned by New Jersey-based company, Lexington Realty International , and managed by a regional team led by Nicki Martineau, Midwest Portfolio Manager in Minnesota. The Viking Plazas Senior Facility Manager is Sergio Rolfzen.

The new restaurant is reportedly scheduled to open next April.

The EchoPress.com piece goes on to state: The Viking Plaza Mall, along with Lexington Realty International, is excited to bring Kohls to the Alexandria community. We appreciate the hard work and collaboration of staff at Lexington, Viking Plaza Mall, Tradesmen Construction , and the City of Alexandria, Martineau said in a news release.

In the event of pertinent updates to these matters, I will share them here on NewsBreak.

Thank you for reading.
