Kohl's, a publicly owned company headquartered in the US, was founded in 1962 and employs approximately 51,430 individuals. It reported $15.5B in revenue as of 2025. The company operates as an omnichannel retailer in the US, specializing in search, social, and retail media.
A recent Zipline report on July 30, 2026, identified Kohl's among several retail chains facing significant consumer abandonment, highlighting a financial disconnect where corporate executives rate their understanding of store operations at 9.13 out of 10, while frontline leaders assess it at 5.67. Separately, on July 30, Kohl's formally appointed Wendy Arlin as its new board chair, effective immediately. Arlin, a director since 2023 and chair of the finance and audit committees since May 2025, replaced John Schlifske, who stepped down for personal reasons after nearly 15 years of service. Earlier, on July 29, Kohl's launched a new AI shopping assistant on Kohls.com and its app, designed to provide styling inspiration and make the online shopping experience simpler and more intuitive. This followed the company's July 29 announcement that Niren Chaudhary, former Panera Brands CEO and Chair, joined its board, an announcement which also initially named Arlin as the next board chair.
