Sells moderately priced apparel, footwear, beauty, accessories, and home goods through a mostly off-mall U.S. store network and Kohls.com. National labels sit alongside higher-margin proprietary brands, while Sephora shop-in-shops anchor beauty across nearly the entire fleet.

Sells moderately priced apparel, footwear, beauty, accessories, and home goods through a mostly off-mall U.S. store network and Kohls.com. The assortment pairs national labels with exclusive and proprietary brands, which generally carry lower prices and higher gross margins than national brands.

Uses stores alongside dedicated fulfillment centers to support pickup and digital delivery, while Sephora shop-in-shops provide the exclusive beauty offer across nearly the entire fleet. Kohl's owns the inventory and splits the arrangement's operating profit with Sephora.

Operations span 49 states and remain exposed to seasonal back-to-school and holiday demand, broad retail competition, and merchandise sourcing from domestic and foreign suppliers. Revenue is reported as one segment combining stores and digital retail.
