A MESSAGE FROM KEVIN MANSELL, CEO
Times have certainly changed since we opened our first store in Brookfield, Wisconsin back in 1962. At that time, we were positioned between the higher-end department stores and the discounters, selling everything from candy to engine oil to sporting equipment. Today, Kohl’s operates approximately 1,160 family-oriented department stores and a website (http://www.kohls.com/sale-event/health-and-beauty.jsp?CN=4294719774). Our stores are stocked with everything our customers need for themselves and their homes - apparel, shoes & accessories for women, children and men, plus home products like small electrics, bedding, luggage and more.
Today, we live in a dynamic, fast-paced, changing environment that is driving the way customers shop. Online shopping has become so much more than just visiting a website. With mobile smartphones and tablets, our customers can shop anywhere at any time. Kohl’s is consistently adapting its shopping experience to provide the customer-centric, omni-channel strategy necessary to provide a consistent, connected and personal shopping experience regardless of the shopping platform used.
Over the past 50 years, a lot has changed. But some very important things have not. We remain just as committed to innovation, to providing quality products at a great value, and to our communities as we did when we opened our first store in 1962. Since our initial public offering in 1992, we are also committed to delivering shareholder value.
Our mission remains clear – to be the leading family-focused, value oriented, specialty department store offering quality exclusive and national brand merchandise to the customer in an environment that is convenient, friendly and exciting.
At Kohl’s, we have a responsibility to our investment community to provide accurate, timely and helpful information about our company. Whether you’re a prospective investor or long-time shareholder, we hope that you will find this Fact Book a valuable reference. We also routinely post information that may be important to investors in the Investor Information section of our web site at:
www.Kohlscorporation.com/Investor Relations.
We encourage you to consult that section of our website regularly.
