Kohl’s

The store is neat, clean and well organized, even when it gets crazy towards the holidays. Apparently, we buy enough stuff there each year to be MVCs (Most Valuable Customers). The program doesn’t have that many benefits but does have a couple of «name your sale» days. It is not uncommon for a sale to be almost always running; anywhere from 15−30% off. Some sales only apply of you purchase good with your Kohl’s card. One nice thing is that you can stack online codes for purchases. Their clearance sections used to be a lot better (4 – 5 years ago) — bigger and better prices. Most of the regular prices are pretty inflated, so wait for good sale prices and then use your discount. There is a Kohl’s Cash Program that can also earn you more discounts on future purchases. Pretty good place for gift shopping.

Boring and overpriced, Kohls will reel you in with discounted prices that aren’t really discounted, in reality the items are overpriced and then discounted to a more realistic price. The sales staff is really clueless but I feel bad for them because working in retail is difficult. If you decide to shop here for clothing, just stick to basics or make sure that you bring in coupons to lower the price on items purchased so that you really are saving some money, otherwise you can skip.

it does not have the best staff, but I do love the low traffic in the store unlike Charlotte.

If you’ve read my review of the Kohl’s on South Blvd and 485, you’ll understand why this one got such a low score. Much like other department stores in Gastonia, it is clear that the department store districts don’t put much effort in maintaining their locations in Gastonia.
Most staff are usually helpful, however it can take an eternity to find a staff member to do anything, including helping to find/​locate an item or even to check out. Having experienced other Kohl’s, it almost makes me wonder why they bother with this location. I’m sure the business does well, people are always attracted to the constant «sale» tags even though they truly are not sales — they are mere mark downs from the never used suggested retail price. These items sell for the same price regardless of where you go.
The selection here is ok — they’ve put as much as they can fit into the square footage. And, it shows. This chain is not known for fashionista organization. However, it is interesting to note what else this chain carries just by visits to other stores.
Location is good if you don’t want to drive. I’m sure you’ll find something that you can compromise with. If you can simply drive out of Gaston, do so. I’m sure you’ll be happier.
