USA:Kohl’s debut in Alaska

Kohl’s Department Stores announced the grand opening of 11 new stores to complete the 19 new Kohl’s store openings this spring, including Kohl’s debut in Alaska. The new stores created nearly 3,000 new jobs for local residents nationwide at a time when more than 2.6 million Americans have found themselves out of work in the last four months.

At Kohl’s stores nationwide and at Kohls.com, the retailer helps shoppers stretch their budget with world-class exclusive and national brands at a value they can appreciate. Just some of the brands offered at Kohl’s include: Simply Vera Vera Wang, Dana Buchman, ELLE, Abbey Dawn designed by Avril Lavigne, American Beauty, apt. 9, Chaps, Jumping Beans, Food Network, Nike, Levi’s, Carter's, Cuisinart and KitchenAid.

Shoppers can purchase apparel, accessories and items for their homes in one convenient location. All new Kohl’s locations offer shoppers redesigned Juniors’, Intimates, Jewelry, Children’s and Footwear departments as well as spacious fitting rooms with lounge areas, updated restrooms and modernized checkouts for their comfort and convenience. Every store offers Kohl’s charge cards featuring incredible saving opportunities; additional saving opportunities with no exclusions; an industry leading return policy; Kohl's Cash – which is like getting paid to shop; extra savings during Power Hours; Friends and Family Shop Days and more.

All new Kohl’s stores have green attributes including recycled and locally obtained building materials; high-efficiency heating and cooling systems; occupancy sensor lighting for stockrooms, break rooms and offices; water-conserving plumbing fixtures and a recycling program for cardboard boxes, hangers and packaging.

As a family focused, value-oriented company, Kohl’s is committed to supporting local communities where it does business through the Kohl’s Cares for Kids program. Kohl’s sells special Kohl’s Cares for Kids merchandise, like books and plush characters, year-round with 100 percent of the net profits benefiting children’s health and education initiatives.

Since the program’s inception in 2000, Kohl’s has raised more than $126 million. Kohl’s associates are also encouraged to support local, youth-focused nonprofit organizations through Kohl’s A-Team program. Through Kohl’s A-Teams, associates form teams of five or more. The teams volunteer at a local children’s charity, and Kohl’s supports their participation with a $500 corporate grant given directly to the charity.
