In the midst of retail closure announcements over the last year, Kohl’s in Citrus Heights has been spared from a list of more than two dozen store closures nationwide.
In a Jan. 9 press release, Kohl’s announced that 27 stores in “underperforming locations” will close by April 2025. 10 of the 27 locations listed are in California, including a store location at 1896 Arden Way in Sacramento.
Kohl’s in Citrus Heights is located at 6131 San Juan Avenue near the corner of Sylvan Road and San Juan Avenue. Another Kohl’s is located on Antelope Road a little over a mile outside of Citrus Heights. Both locations have been spared, and no other closures have been announced thus far.
“As we continue to build on our long-term growth strategy, it is important that we also take difficult but necessary actions to support the health and future of our business for our customers and our teams,” Kohl’s CEO Tom Kingsbury, said in the press release.
The Wisconsin-based retailer operates over 1,100 stores nationwide, and the list of closures accounts for less than three percent of its locations.
The first Kohl’s department store opened in Brookfield, Wisconsin, in 1962, according to the company’s website. There were 76 Kohl’s stores in the Midwest upon opening. Kohl’s.com launched in 2001.
