Herndon Kohl’s Among 27 ‘Underperforming’ Stores Closing By April

HERNDON, VA — Kohl’s is closing 27 of its more than 1,150 stores nationwide, including the location at 2100 Centreville Road in Herndon.

"We always take these decisions very seriously," said Kohl’s CEO Tom Kingsbury, in a release. "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."

The company decided that it would close its San Bernardino e-commerce fulfillment center in California when its lease runs out in May. It will also be closing 27 underperforming stores by April.

Two Virginia locations were included on the “underperforming” list, the Herndon store and another in Williamsburg.

The nationwide retailer has already informed all associates at the stores slated to close. They were also given the option to receive a competitive severance package or apply for a position at another Kohl’s location.
