Kohl’s Corporation (NYSE: KSS) is a U.S.-based omnichannel retailer that sells apparel, footwear, accessories, beauty items, and home goods through a network of brick-and-mortar stores and an online platform.

Founded in 1988, the company is headquartered in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, and operates within the Broadline Retail sub-industry.
Key recent metrics (FY 2023) show total revenue of roughly $19.5 billion, with comparable-store sales trending flat year-over-year and an operating margin of about 4.2 %. Kohl’s carries approximately $5.6 billion of long-term debt, while its cash conversion cycle has improved to 68 days, reflecting stronger inventory management. Sector-wide, the retailer is sensitive to consumer discretionary spending, inflation-driven price sensitivity, and the accelerating shift toward integrated online-offline experiences that pits it against Amazon, discount chains, and specialty apparel e-commerces.
