Kohl's said Thursday it will close 27 underperforming stores by April 2025.
Why it matters: The department store chain is hoping to avoid the fate of some of its rivals, such as Sears and JCPenney, both of which ended up in bankruptcy, Axios' Nathan Bomey reported last year.
- Macy's also announced a round of store closings Thursday. See the closures list here.
What they're saying: "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," Tom Kingsbury, Kohl's outgoing CEO, said in a statement.
- Kingsbury plans to step down Jan. 15, the company said in November. He will be replaced by Michaels CEO Ashley Buchanan.
