Kohl's, they have high prices, little selection and they ate up alot of Clovers and also knocked down the very nice Acme in Doylestown Pennsylvania. I once bought a microwave from them when they first came to my area. I had for two years and I kept having to fix every month. Ban Kohl's! Boycott Kohl's! Another cookie cutter store!

storehistoryguy

I got some revenge by setting this Kohl's on fire! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D:insane:

They didn't knock down my Clover, they justed gutted it. I'm upset they knocked down the Doylestown Acme last year. It was so nice inside and it was a rare styled Acme at that.

This place is also irritationing. Their carriages are a joke. The prices are so so. I never saw what the big deal was about this place.

it is better than nothing and the only thing I did not like about Kohl's is taking over both woburn and burlington mass stores when they are 5-6 miles apart and the one in burlington could hvae become wal-mart since caldor and bradlees on that same road closed.

Kohls is OK not My favorite Store

farmingtonvalleymall

Kohl's is a decent store. I get everything off the close out racks cheap. On most days I look like I walked right out of a Kohl's catalog. :D

silverrose43

for the most part i like Kohl's. i think they have a much better selection of merchandise and are a lot cheaper than JCPenney or Macy's, at least around here. As long as something is on sale it's usually priced really well. if its not then it can be pricy. i always wait for the sales :P

I think it would've made more sense for ShopKo to take over stores like Jamesway, Ames, Caldor, Hills, Clover or Bradlees, rather than Kohl's, since ShopKo is very much like Ames or Jamesway. I think Kohl's is a bit too much like JCPenney, Sears, or Bon-Ton. Looks like an opportunity ShopKo missed out on.

videogamer75

I agree, I would've much rather had Shopko's in my area than crappy Kohl's. At least Shopko is a regional discount store, reminiscent of the old chains like Hills, Caldor and Jamesway.

Kohl's is a piece of crap store. They place stores less than 5 miles from the next, take over a TON of old stores and ruin them by putting up their ugly beige boxes, plus the merchandise can be found much cheaper at Wal-Mart and Target. And, the store is mostly just freakin' clothes, as if we didn't have enough clothing stores already!

A crappy store owned by the family of US senator Herb Kohl.

It used to be a great store back in the day, but it seems they stooped to the level of Burlington Coat Factory or a poor man's JCPenney.

One of two retailers based out of Wisconsin, Kohl's is based out of Menominee Falls, Wisconsin, while ShopKo on the other hand, is based out of Green Bay, Wisconsin.

I personally think that Kohl's might close their New England stores, if they're doing that poorly. Keep your fingers crossed. :bigsmile:

I personally think that a lot of the remaining regionals should expand and become national or semi-national, like ShopKo and Meijer, just as long as they don't fall apart like Ames or Zayre did.

Kohl's is the most BORING store I've been into. More boring than JCPenney!

THAT'S BECAUSE KOHL'S APPEALS TO WOMEN! It's a department store that appeals to women. That's why you think it's so BORING. It is supposed to be a department store. If YOU don't like that store, go shop somewhere else. Plain and simple as that! If you have nothing nice to say about KOHL'S, shut the F#@% up! And besides that, Kohl's is owned by U.S. senator Herb Kohl.

DUDE!!! WTH!?

I was just stating my opinion and you jump on me like a rabid dog! No need to get a twisted up about it! I don't hound you for your opinion,so why should you?

Did you even notice the TITLE of this thread? read "Down with Kohl's" and it's based in the "Department Store Bashing" section. So why the heck are you surprised people are saying bad things about Kohl's here?

BTW I end up at Kohl's because my mom likes shopping there sometimes, and do get clothes and sometimes shoes there, I didn't say "it was absolutely horrible" I just said it was "boring" which you obviously disagree with, fine but don't go absolutely NUTS over it! You obviously LIKE the store and that's fine with me. But please, state it in a better more polite way.

Yes, Kohl's has MEDIOCRE and OVERRATED written all over it, especially in Wisconsin, where they are based. They are trying to copy Sears and JCPenney. We can see through their smoke and mirrors.:mad:
