Kohl’s said that the new store areas will be located throughout the store and maintain a consistent presence by Kohl’s Amazon Returns.

The retailer currently operates more than 1,100 stores in 49 US states.

Kohl’s interim chief marketing officer Christie Raymond said: “The back-to-school period is always an exciting time for our customers and our company.

“This year, we know that value is more important than ever, and Kohl’s is prepared to be the go-to back-to-school destination with our unique mix of national and private brands that offer style-forward options at every price, as well as our industry-leading value differentiators like Kohl’s Cash and Kohl’s Rewards.

“We’re also especially excited to offer our customers an enhanced shopping experience full of new brand discovery that will leave our customers feeling inspired and like they found something truly unique at Kohl’s.”

Earlier this month, Kohl’s Board of Directors decided to end sale talks with US-based holding company Franchise Group.

The move came after Franchise provided a revised written proposal to acquire the department store chain for $53 a share.
