Why Is Kohl’s Closing 1100 Stores For A Day?
What? Why is Kohl’s closing 1100 stores? I just bought my wife a $100 Sephora gift card for her birthday! Oh, the humanity!
Hey my friend, tap the breaks. It’s only for ONE day. Yes, you can still redeem your thousands in unused Kohl’s cash and take care of the ladies in your life with all of the Sephora gift cards you need. But why are they closing all stores for just a day? Maybe they need to shut down to ship in their new fashion line of Aaron Rodgers, LL Cool J and Lenny Kravitz gear. Or maybe it’s something much less corporate?
Why Is Kohl’s Closing 1100 Stores?
Yes, it’s true Kohl’s is closing all 1100 stores, for just one important day. A day that could be important to many of their workers. It’s Easter Sunday. Kohl’s has announced that all stores will be closed Easter Sunday, March 31, so their employees can enjoy the Easter Holiday with their family. According to the US Sun:
Shoppers will be happy to hear Kohl’s will operate on its normal opening hours on Easter Saturday. Kohl’s will also operate as usual on Easter Monday.
It would be smart to plan ahead this Easter Sunday, as there are other stores that will be closed. The Sun also reports other stores that will be closed Easter Sunday include, Macy’s, Lowes, Sams Club, Costco, Target, Aldi, Publix and H-E-B. Kohl’s also reports that they will close two other major holiday’s, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
