What's Happening With Kohl's?

The popular chair department store, Kohl's, focuses largely on clothing but also has a wide selection of accessories and homewares. But 27 of its stores currently qualify as "underperforming," and the Wisconsin-based company has made the decision to shut them down.

The company did report about a 6 percent decrease in revenue in 2024, a sign that there might be more trouble on the ay unless they can turn some things around at their stores.

Are Any Louisiana Stores in Trouble?

Louisiana has seven locations, including Lafayette, Baton Rouge, and Shreveport. Luckily none of them are at risk, as Kohl's has not listed them as "underperforming" or slated them for closure.

There is a store just over the state line in Texas, and one to the north in Arkansas. But Louisiana was thankfully spared. The good news for the workers at the stores that are closing? Kohl's corporate is offering what it's calling "competitive" severance or the opportunity to transfer to other Kohl's locations.
