Kohl’s

My sister used to tell me to go to Kohls. Oh they have great deals and excellent merchandise. So after 10 years I went. Wow. If things are on sale you can’t beat it. The service is excellent. The selection is excellent. I’m not taking away a star because the air conditioning is low. A lot of places are like that now and I’m a green person so I’m down with that. Love me some Kohls.

Consistence outstanding customer service. We had a return on one weekend closely tethered to Christmas. The line move quickly and the customer service agent treated the transaction flawlessly. So, since thst transaction went off without a glitch, we thought to try to purchase my boyfriend a dress outfit for a dinner dance (at the last minute) He is an impossible to fit. We were lucky enough to run into Jack in the men’s department. He saved the day. Thanks.. We will be doing more shopping here. It’s our new favorite store.

My go to place for something in a pinch if I’m going out. Their shoe department is awful, nothing is ever in the right place, you can’t find the size you want. All the shoes are so mixed up I get aggravated and leave.

If I could give zero stars, I would. Very unpleasant experience with an Elmhurst Kohl’s associate. While in the shoe department, I made the mistake of asking her a question. This Kohl’s employee lit me up because she was busy and didn’t want to be bothered listening to my question, let alone helping me. Her tone was belligerent, rude, and aggressive. I asked her to call the manager and she physically blocked me from speaking to the manager by stepping in front of me and telling me that «you don’t get to talk». She appears to be over-​employed and probably should not come in contact with customers. As we all know, retailers compete for every customer and this associate at Kohl’s in Elmhurst appears to be doing her best to send customers elsewhere. The store manager was great and took care of my question and mentioned that the associate had been working lots of hours. Hmmm… perhaps she’d be more more effective at home than in the shoe department. When I made my purchase, I was handed a receipt with a survey request. The survey has been completed with all the ugly details and I expect to hear from Kohl’s customer service regarding this woman. She is a detriment to an otherwise stellar Kohl’s team. My advice: Don’t give your hard earned money to a company that employs nasty people.

I love Kohls! They’re one of the only stores that still has tapered mens shirts, although I think they refer to them as athletic fit now. Prices are very reasonable I love their tie selection. The help there could be a little bit more helpful, no one really walks up and asked if they can help you you must seek it. But if you like bargains and good quality merchandise you’ve come to the right place!

I would have to say out of all the kohls in the area downers grove, lomard this by far has to be the only one that keep’s their shelves and racks organized.
I have been going to this location for over 6 years and I have basically become a regular so the staff is great with helping me out and getting the best deals.

The treasures you can find in the clearance are amazing!!! I have been coming here for years now. I really want to get a credit card from here for the extra discounts you get in the mail, but I know I will find myself in more debt. The only reason why I am holding back that extra star is because I wish they had more clearance racks for men and even on the home goods products. That would be nice.

This is a decent Kohl’s. My biggest complaint about my local Kohl’s is that the size of the clothing article is always different from what’s listed on the hanger. This store was no different. I would pick something up in my size— or so the hanger said— only to find out it wasn’t my size at all. GAHHHH!!! Frustrating.
I only came to this location because I have a couple pair of J. Lo pants that I wear almost every single day in blue and black and I somehow lost both pairs (because I have too many clothes.) They didn’t have the ones I wanted but I found a similar pair that I ended up buying.
The store wasn’t overly clean. In fact, it was pretty disorganized, however I saw a few people in the women’s section trying to tidy it up. The young guy at checkout was pretty friendly too.

We’ve probably all heard the rule «Buy swimsuits and shorts in the winter, when it’s out of season, so that it’s cheaper.» Honey, you don’t have to wait til winter. That shiz is on sale right freaking now. Since the weather until this point had been unseasonably comfortable, I haven’t had the need to get any new shorts. Oh but in true Chicago fashion, here comes the heat wave. Time to get some shorts.
I checked out Target earlier in the week, but couldn’t find anything besides booty shorts or mom shorts. Kohl’s was my next and final stop it turned out. They also have booty shorts to fill that skanky need, but they also have regular length shorts and some cute ones at that. I grabbed a bunch and tried them on. Perfecto! The dressing rooms are pretty nice, by the way. I like the hardwood (probably vinyl) look and feel. Much cleaner than the terrible carpet at other department stores. Gross.
I know it’s crazy chaotic during the weekend or on holidays, but going during the week is a good time to shop. I put the stuff that didn’t fit on a rack of nopes, and the girl working the floor promptly put it back. That’s really good because there may be an item you wanted but don’t think they have because the item is sitting all lonely in the reject bin. Now it’s back on the rack for the taking!
Oh and that super sale stuff I talked about earlier? Yeah the shorts were $ 12 each! I also saw a sign for swimwear that said «end of season» sale. Really? Mid-​July is end of summer? Who knew? But hell, I’ll take full advantage of that. The cashier was really awesome too. Like other Kohls cashiers I’ve encountered, when I say that I forgot my coupon at home (which is true because I always forget them), they give me the discount or let me do one of those scratch offs. 30% off for the win! The lady behind me claimed she also had a 30% off at home (yeah right) and the cashier told her she could do the scratch off too. «Well, I don’t want this if I can’t get 30% off.» I looked at the cashier and felt her pain, being a former cashier myself. That, «Give me a break, lady. But whatever, I want to get rid of this line so I’ll give you what you want» thought went through her head, and mine, and she gave the lady the 30% without any scratch off or coupon. Customer service pro.
My fiancé complains about Kohl’s style sometimes on the men’s side. He says the shirts are either dad or skater. He’s got a point so most of his shirts come from Target. He did find a couple of shorts and pants that were to his liking, though, so there’s reason for him to come back. As for me, I love Kohls. It’s a must stop when looking for anything you might need. A few weeks ago, I dashed in here when I was desperate for a clutch for a wedding and guess what? I found it. Keep up the good work, Kohls.

I love Kohl’s — mostly for their insane discounts.
I go to Kohl’s for clothes, shoes, accessories, picture frames, linens, gifts and all kinds of kitchen stuff. This is the only retailer that managed to get me to obtain a department store credit card. It is so worth it! The only thing I seem to lose out on is when you get coupons that require you to return back to the store by a certain date. I almost never return in time… or I don’t have the coupon with me. :(Anyway, it’s still worth it.
I also love, love, love the fact that they seem to sell a lot of Dr. Seuss items. I have to always be on the lookout, though, since these items are usually sold for a limited time.
Kohl’s is also a fantastic place to buy Hallmark ornaments. It’s the best place to get them on sale. I’m always looking for Dr. Seuss and Looney Tunes ornaments and they almost always have them available. There was only one time I had to purchase the display ornament. Display items are not my first choice, but I didn’t have other options.
I want to give credit to a wonderful store representative who helped me locate the original box for the ornament. Her name is Namsom and she works in the Elmhurst or Downers Grove location. She dug around the back until she found the box and never made it seem like an inconvenience. The box doesn’t seem like a big deal, but it was to me since this ornament was a gift and it was for someone who collected these Hallmark ornaments.

The store is kind of unorganized. The people that work there are nice. They have great deals!

This is my go to Kohl’s. It’s pretty clean and they often have my size shortie, LOL! The staff are nice and they ask me if I need anything.
The Customer Service counter is pretty organized too and they are quick in exchanging and returning as they don’t give you a hard time if you don’t have a receipt. They’ll just give you a Kohl’s gift card, I’ll just give this back to you anyway, ooo look at the wide selections on the sale racks LOL!
They have a pretty good selection here and the discounted racks are replenished and mega discount especially if you have a Khol’s card on top of their discount cards that you get in the mail or online that you can pull up on your cell phone if you have internet access!
It’s off of the main road and there’s plenty of parking. It’s in a strip mall but not too close to the busier area of the mall. cause parking is CRAZY!

For the record, if you pay full price for anything at Kohl’s, you are doing it wrong. Keep that in mind.
This is a fairly tidy and organized store and even when it’s busy, it’s not that bad. There are normally enough cashiers, the fitting rooms are kept cleared out, and the stock level seems appropriate. The folks working there are helpful enough when help is needed, though sometimes the cashiers seem to be a little disinterested.
I am a little annoyed that they don’t carry bras in my size in the store (I spent an hour tonight looking) but most places don’t so I guess I shouldn’t be too cranky about that.
My main issue is the women’s restroom. It’s kind of gross. No, it’s gross. It took 4 tries before I found a stall that was not filthy. Yuck. They definitely need to clean the bathrooms in this location far more frequently from what I saw this evening. Also most of the soap dispensers were empty — hopefully people were just busy washing their hands all day. Double yuck.
Anyway, so I think I will continue to shop here, just not for bras and I definitely won’t ever use the bathroom again.

This store is clean and seems to be organized however lacks help in the departments.
I’ve only visited on Sundays in the afternoon and it has been mildly busy, nothing a serious shopper couldn’t handle.

This is a much larger Kohls than the one inside of Stratford Square. Their men’s goods, home goods and women’s collections are all much larger at this store. The staff that man the place are fairly helpful at finding the correct sizes when I have had to purchase suits.
Sadly, the quality of the merchandise is largely matched with its price tag: cheap, cheap, cheap. I’ve purchased a number of formal pieces as well as casual shirts from Kohls. A lot of the lining on the dress shirts were poorly stitched. On several casual shirts, the color faded with just a few short washes, WITHOUT bleach.
If you don’t shop here with their Kohls Charge and a 30% off coupon, you’re not getting a good deal. Not counting the home goods section, I’ve been doing more of my shopping at Nordstrom. Although they cost a lot more, you know the clothes will last for years to come.

I am not much of a shopper… do not have the patience.
I accompanied wifey here as she had a $ 40 «good as cash» coupon that HAD to be used today… or you lose it.
It took us 30 minutes to determine what we wanted to use the coupon on.
Shoes for wifey.
Kitchen towels for «us».
A bathroom candle for «us»…or maybe because of me? Ha!
Anyway…Kohl’s is a Southeastern Wisconsin chain that has grown successful.
Well laid out store and much bigger that you think.
Name brands.
Cool Cubbie stuff (and also of that team on the Southside).
Shop local.

The first rule of Kohl’s: never buy anything at «full price.»
I’m pretty sure that they jack the prices up on the regular-​price items to make the sales seem that much more impressive.
If you can keep that in mind, you can find some great stuff. Because between the clearance racks and the sales, half to 75% of the store is always on sale. Seriously. Their clothes are generally fashionable, fun, and will last a few years at least — no, these aren’t lifetime investment clothes for the most part but that’s why you buy on sale…
This particular store is pretty well organized, and they remodeled a year or two ago and added some nice touches — new dressing rooms with more space, better mirrors and more hooks. (This is important when you’re lugging lots of stuff around!) Also, the staff is generally friendly, unobtrusive, and helpful when you need it.
Pro tip number two: If you come in one day and can’t find what you want on sale, wait a week or so and try again. The inventory gets turned over a decent amount and stuff moves through the clearance racks pretty steadily.
On a recent weekend, I had a gift card from Christmas that was still unused — see previous rule — and I decided to try again. I was aiming for some pants for work and maybe a top or two.
Score! Two pairs of pants, a cute Daisy Fuentes cardigan and a long-​sleeved tee on the clearance rack for a mere $ 3.20. All of it marked 60 to 80% off.

I am so impressed with the direction that Kohl is going. They have Vera Wang, Lauren Conrad, Daisy Fuentes, Food Network, Bobby Flay and MUDD amongst others.
I read an article that Jennifer Lopez/​Marc Anthony will be joining the team to add even more great stuff:
coming fall 2011. Can’t wait!
This particular store seams no different then any other I’ve been too: clean, organized and nice.

Man. Christmas shopping on a Saturday morning. Full parking lot. Wailing babies. Rude people elbowing you out of the way. The lines at the checkout. And yet the cashiers were as pleasant and dignified as Southern ladies out to church.
I need some of whatever tranquilizers they were on. For real. ‘Cause it was obviously some good chit to be THAT calm amidst all the chaos.
