Our Purpose

At Kohl’s, our purpose is to take care of families' realest moments. For over 60 years, we have served families of all shapes, sizes and configurations. Kohl’s associates live by our values, which allow us to live out our purpose every day. Simply put, we CARE: we are Customer First, Accountable, Resourceful and Empathetic.

Our History

The first Kohl’s department store opened in Brookfield, Wisconsin in 1962. When the company went public in 1992, there were 76 Kohl’s stores in the Midwest. Kohls.com launched in 2001, giving Kohl’s an online presence that has grown and evolved over the years. In 2003, we opened 28 stores in California, giving Kohl’s a coast-to-coast presence for the first time in our history. That growth and expansion continued over the years and Kohl’s now operates more than 1,100 stores in 49 states, along with the powerful e-commerce platform of Kohls.com.
