Can Kohl's Survive? 

They can but only if the United States convert U.S. dollars to Kohl's Cash.

If you don't have 13 minutes, here's the gist: Yes, Kohl is in decent position to weather the rough patches for a whille. It's not another JCP.

Me, watching this video, in the breakroom of my kohl’s....

While I'm angry about how losing retail stores makes life more difficult for us when we need to run out and pick something up right away without waiting for mail, or need to try something on to find the right fit, it's hard to feel bad for a lot of companies that could most likely afford to stay open if they didn't massively overpay their top executives.

I prefer stores than online for shopping because you can touch n feel the item you will buy.

They offer so many incentives. They use their floor space well.

Company Man 4 months ago: Kohl’s - Why they’re successful

The question is can any business survive now. Not just kohl's lol

Kohl's is extremely expensive unless you have coupons and "Kohl's Cash".

I like kohl’s. I got a $100 Columbia jacket for $20 last week

I grew up in a suburb of Milwaukee in the 50'-60's. A new "state of the art" upscale grocery, less than a mile away, was built on a main street near a high-school, a new jr. high civic center with library, a bank, several churches and not far from a beautiful River pkwy with an established HUGE public swimming pool and one of the first upscale large shopping centers. This was was right in a mature established upscale residential neighborhood and historic romantic town center. Up till then there just a couple of "old style ma and pa" groceries. It was an instant success! I was in grade school and enjoyed going with my mother to this seemingly exotic modern grocery store called KOHL'S. And the rest was history.... This was not the full service department store than eventually followed around the country. The original KOHL'S was sold, but is still in business as an upscale grocery in a very stable charming residential neighborhood with all the amenities. Location, location, location.....

There is one near where I live. It’s my mom’s favorite store as it has a large selection of petite clothes at very affordable prices. I hope they weather through the pandemic.

Man! I hope so! We still go there frequently and love it.

I’ve avoided conventional indoor shopping malls for a long time and mostly all popular chain stores seem to be the freestanding strip mall types now. However they weren’t completely forthright when they said you have to walk through an entire indoor mall to get to a department store. All major department stores at malls have their own entrances where you don’t even have to go into the mall

Lov Kohl’s i’m a mom of four kids and I save a ton of money using all the coupons this store offers sad if it goes 😐

The combination of the Kohls card plus Kohls cash, plus coupons, makes Kohls extremely competitive.

Picking up all the merchandise that's lying on the floor might help, too.

Unlike other department stores, most Kohl's stores are not at malls, but stand-alone buildings. All retailers are affected by COVID-19. Even when closed they still have bills to pay.

Kohl’s is ALWAYS packed and busy at the one near my home.

I love browsing at the mall and trying on clothes. The things I buy on Amazon are mostly non-clothing items that I cannot find at local stores. It’s sad to see so many malls and retail stores closing.

I used to go to a shopping complex in NJ. A small part of the complex is cursed. All except one of their tenants have closed due to bankruptcy or simply struggle to survive. There’s an abandoned Sports Authority, an abandoned Toys R Us, and now there might be an abandoned Kohl’s. It’s like every tenant that opens in that space is bound to go bankrupt

Just wait for the pandemic to settle, people rush to buy. Just give them 50% clearance sale. Ask to download your App. Stock up with fresh merchandise. Enjoy.

I love these company analysis videos!

Love Kohl's. At least 2/3 of my wardrobe is from there, but as a plus-sized woman I still have to really hunt and prefer a large Kohl's further from home rather than the smaller one closer to home.

I love how i was just about to go to the kohls near me-

I love Kohls! I combine clearance, coupons, Kohls cash, and free shipping over $75 to get so much clothing for cheap! Spent $300 during quarantine on fall/winter clothing and planning to spend more. Gotta keep the Kohl's alive!

I’m a millennial and I hate online shopping. I like being in a store, touching the merchandise.

For four months, I’ve been working at Kohl’s and I love it! 💙

Kohls keep it up. You guys can do it. You guys offer things that walmart and target doesn't.

CNBC, great video! Enjoy your Sunday!💯🙏👐

Great seeing how careful they are with packages 4:48 :')

What do you find more convenient, returning Amazon products at The UPS Store or at Kohl’s?

I’ve gone to my Kohl’s twice since the reopening and it’s been very empty both times. I hope they bounce back

Kohl’s is good if you haven’t cared about fashion in your life, or are retired

"affordable clothes" Ok buddy

Very sad to see lots of stores gone such as Sears and others. I never work for all of these company but when they are closing I feel very sad for all employees and I miss them.

I ordered a winter coat through Amazon. It was two sizes too small so I returned the winter coat and got a discount on some pillows. Then I ordered a raincoat and it also was two sizes too small. I became suspicious. Didn't return the raincoat. Now I'm just trying to lose weight.

all the karens would be devastated

I love kohls but their online site is awful, especially the app. It's difficult to navigate and will have a single photo of what you're buying. On top of $8-$10 shipping for something like clothes it's not worth it

I love you kohls!!! As Tim Gunn says make it work!! So glad you are reopening

Some of the first "brick and mortar" stores to be put out of business were video rental stores, music stores, and electronic supply stores. Now we are seeing hardware stores, autopart stores, jewelry stores, and even grocery stores facing the same fate. It makes you wonder what industries will be next? Heck, I can do my own taxes online or consult with a certified doctor or get legal advice now with a few simple clicks of the mouse.

My family and I have been long time Kohls shoppers. I haven't been shopping for clothes much since my early 20s though, since I don't need nearly as many clothes, and if I want something new to me, I can find shirts easily from a Thrift stores. For me, it's a matter of being green and saving money where it makes sense to. I have suhc an issue with finding jeans that fit and are long enough. I found some good ones I got multiple of from jcpenny since they actually fit. When I have kids, I can see myself going back to Kohls for children's clothes. I did order some joggers from Kohls a month ago, but they didn't list the length, and I had to return some of them. You have to do it in store unless you want to pay shipping. Unlike Amazon. And the clothes from Kohls generally take way longer to get than from Amazon. I think it would work better for Kohls if they team up with Amazon for their shipping network... I think getting clothes right away and returning them easily is important for something like clothes since you may get the clothes and they don't even end up fitting. So then you have to wait even longer to get a different size.

Not sure people can survive..and here we are asking of some chain...

Wow, CNBC! That long form Kohl's commercial was so nicely produced that it didn't even seem to include a disclaimer. My middle aged aunt made me go to Kohl's with her several years ago. It seemed as good as she hyped it up. Plus, she was buying. Awesome. Then I returned to normal lighting, and omg! What cheap crap! It reminds me of the low end department stores my mom brought me to when I was a kid, like Montgomery Ward and (yes technically) Kmart, where the rather steep full price new goods were discounted within a week or two. The success of Kohl's is tied completely to the ability of "Tarjay" upper working class middle aged ladies to believe that they are middle class and that the products they buy at Kohl's are just as good as what they would find at someplace nice, while refusing to believe that it's the same as TJ Maxx/Marshall's but with the in-store markdowns instead of the liquidation markdowns. I'm not saying that the self delusion of their customers isn't strong enough to sustain the company for a long time. Those ladies are as rabid in their enthusiasm as a new multi-level marketing rep, and with an ultimately very similar approach to "income" in the form of price discounts rather than actual profit. The problem is mostly in the ability of the company to keep the "markdowns" coming instead of bending to the pressure of investors who see things like this video and don't realize that the illusion of low prices for full-price quality is Kohl's business model. If I ever go there again, it'll be for an Amazon return, and maybe to buy some Jessica Simpson shoes. They still sell those there, don't they?

Gonna send this to my ex and her whole family who work at Kohls while I sip my cup of coffee

My sisters are shopping at Kohl's at least once a week. Too many sketchy people at the mall in our area.

it's truly survival for the fittest for retailers during this pandemic

Damn you, Kolhl's! DAMN YOU!

I tried to like them but the prices are overpriced.

Love Kohl's❤❤❤!!!

You have no idea what the parking lot is like at Kohl’s I was there I think last week to pay a bill in the parking lot was completely full Kohl’s will snap back from this even more

Middle aged women punching the air rn

The lady at 9:39 is right

Kohl's has fairly nice merchandise and decent selection. I tend to shop there from time to time, especially at the Holiday's. Only downside is their complicated system that forces you to have a Kohl's charge card to qualify for many of the discounts. Kohl's is not competitively priced unless you do. The percent off coupons, you get in the mail, that are "randomly" 10% 20% or 30% don't seem fair, and they count on you not using your Kohl's cash before it expires. Next pitfall is interest rates in the 20% range if you forget to pay it off in time.

i love that store

idk. i never liked Kohl’s for some reason. i’m a guy but i never thought their clothes were nice or had good deals

their slacks are fantastic!

I prefer shopping in store than online due to having the product now and seeing everything. The problem is...(some of) the rude customer service

I used to run around and hide in the middle of those clothes racks🤣 at khloe's. Good times

stay strong people

I love Kohls

Hell yeah my momma loves kohl’s

No company should be allowed to become too big to fail

I really hope they don't close as it is one of the few places I can find good quality petite pants for relatively affordable prices

make just one big size space for clearance products at the stores and another one for new items with discounts using coupons as make it so easy to search in your app so people can go directly to what they will need or want, online purchases should have an special discounts on new items

Ty

this video is pretty kohl

I have not been in a Kohl's store since 2014

I don't know anyone who shops there, crazy theyre still around

They mark all their items why up and then add a sales tag for the real price that looks like a good deal.

I think Kohls will make it. I do however think at some point Amazon will get deeper involved to strengthen both businesses.

I used to work next to a kohls and there was only like 10 cars there at any given moment 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ theyre hella expensive even tho its on sale

Kohls makes money by discounting clothing, then when youre in the store you buyer higher priced stuff such as appliances, which is rarely on sale. But I just dont see demand for clothes right now, especially winter clothes, which they still have a lot of. They also made a mistake teaming up with Amazon. They put the Amazon return area next to toys in most stores, which means its hard to shop for toys. If anything I see Amazon returns losing them money. When a retailer has to heavily discount merchandise just to sell, that is a big warning sign.

If kohl’s partner like Amazon and others discontinued the agreement with kohl’s than it end there. Currently Amazon and kohl’s are partnered together for Amazon returns.

Kohl’s cash has always made them the best place for Black Friday deals. Bought my whole Google Smart Home setup there.

Kohl's has had a problem for over a decade now. You go into one and the clothes unfashionable and are overpriced. It feels like a mall full of weird tacky displays of things that aren't clothing. I only go to Kohl's to return stuff to Amazon.

What do you find under a campfire? Kohl's

If you're Canadian you probably never heard of this store before

There is this morbid satisfaction when watching multimillion dollar companies go bankrupt. Why is that?..🤔

Damn it! I have some jeans that i need to exchange and havent been able to do so.

I don’t like it when a store like Kohl’s gives me a discount coupon that I can only use on some distant time in the future. If they’re going to give a customer a discount, they should let the customers use it while they’re still inside of the store! Nowadays, we could be here today, but gone tomorrow. Especially during this pandemic and our violent society!🤨

Kohl’s was able to expand into California only because it moved in over the freshly-dead carcass of Mervyn’s...in a lot of locations, it moved into dead retail space that had previously been Mervyn’s

Lol i was just thinking about going there

i keep buying stuff from them cause the kohl's cash has a set timeframe before it expires, i end up with a few dozen polo shirts and blue jeans that I normally wear at work. i mean, they have the same stuff, it's not like they are gonna have a new fashion trend, the same jeans i bought from them 10 years ago are the same jeans i buy from them today.

All kohl workers watching this :👁👄👁

I read as Can Kohli survive😂😂😂 ssing the youtube notification 😂😂

I new era will break out that online retailing needs to happen. Amazon is a good example, especially amid Covid, and probably the business model most retailers will be looking to for the future. Most retailers will go online with some physical stores for both modes of shopping. I prefer shopping at a physical store so that I don't have to worry about my credit/debit card being compromised. I can try on clothes with no risk, others would agree. Amazon lacks in that department. Maybe the competition level among all retailers will eventually even out.

Maybe they had time to get their fitting rooms cleaned out and all the clothes back on rack.

Been there like once

"affordable"

I don't think I've ever stepped foot in a Kohl's; not from a sense of pride but just never crossed my mind. Seen the signs everywhere but never really registered to shop for clothes there.

YES they can

My mom would be heartbroken if it went under.

i just applied to kohls, interview on Thursday

Unlike some other stores. Kohls make a profit.

i just bought from toys r u in person yesterday

This seems like the perfect time to invest in Kohl's stock while it is low. Everyone will be hot to invests in it once they see it shoot back up. So now is the time to get in.

Kohl's incentivizes shoppers with deeper discounts if they spend more and shop more frequently. Amazon offers free shipping at a lower threshold, but the clothing is not inexpensive. I buy some clothes on Amazon, but generally prefer trying on clothes to see how they fit.

Went there several times looking for t-shirts with pockets and no graphics. Found none, ordered Dickies brand shirts from Amazon instead.

I wonder if Kohl's CEO clothes are from Kohl's
