Kohl's Becomes Latest Wisconsin Retailer To Mandate Face Masks

MENOMONEE FALLS, WI — Kohl's Department Store, with multiple locations in Wisconsin, has become the latest retailer with operations in the state to require face masks amid the COVID-19 pandemic in Wisconsin.

They join popular retailers Menards, Starbucks, Costco, Best Buy and Whole Foods among the growing number of places that are requiring masks.

"As COVID-19 cases continue to rise, face covering mandates have grown to apply to approximately 70 percent of our store base, therefore we’ve made the decision to take a consistent approach across our entire store fleet," company officials said Wednesday afternoon. "Beginning Monday, July 20, we will require all customers to wear a face covering while shopping in our stores."
