Why is Kohl's closing stores?
The company cited the closing stores as "underperforming."

"As we continue to build on our long-term growth strategy, it is important that we also take difficult but necessary actions to support the health and future of our business for our customers and our teams."

"Kohl's thanks our associates for their work and is working to support our associates during this transition," the company said in its release.
