Is Kohl's Open Today?

About Kohl's Hours

Kohl's is open every day of the week, making it one of the most accessible department stores in the country. With over 1,100 locations across 49 states, there's a good chance you have one nearby - and yes, it's open today regardless of which day you're checking.

Kohl's Store Hours

Most Kohl's stores follow a standard schedule of 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM Monday through Saturday. Sunday hours are typically 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM, giving you slightly less time to shop but still a solid window. Some locations in busier shopping areas may stay open until 10:00 PM on weekdays and Saturdays.

Keep in mind that individual store hours can vary. Freestanding Kohl's locations sometimes open earlier or close later than stores inside shopping centers. Your best bet is to check the Kohl's store locator for your specific location's hours.

Holiday Hours and Closures

Kohl's stays open on most holidays, often with adjusted hours. During the holiday shopping season (November through December), many locations extend their hours significantly - some staying open until midnight or even operating 24 hours in the days leading up to Christmas.

Here's what to expect for major holidays:

Open with reduced hours: New Year's Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans Day, Black Friday, New Year's Eve

Typically closed: Easter Sunday, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day

Black Friday is when Kohl's really extends its hours. Stores often open at 5:00 AM or earlier, and some locations have started opening on Thanksgiving evening in recent years, though the company has shifted back toward closing on Thanksgiving itself.

What Makes Kohl's Different from Other Department Stores

Kohl's occupies an interesting middle ground in retail. It's not trying to be a luxury department store like Nordstrom and Bloomingdale's or a deep discounter like Ross. Instead, Kohl's focuses on affordable brand-name clothing, shoes, home goods (filling part of the gap left by Bed, Bath & Beyond's closure), and accessories for the whole family.

The store's layout is designed around departments - women's, men's, juniors, kids, home, and beauty - spread across a single floor. Unlike multi-level department stores, most Kohl's locations are single-story buildings, which makes browsing quicker and more straightforward.

Kohl's Cash and Rewards

One of the biggest draws to shopping at Kohl's is their Kohl's Cash program. During promotional periods (which happen frequently), you earn $10 in Kohl's Cash for every $50 you spend. This Kohl's Cash can then be redeemed during a specified window, usually the following week or two.

The store also runs regular percentage-off promotions, stackable coupons, and their Yes2You Rewards program (now called Kohl's Rewards). Cardholders who use a Kohl's charge card get an additional 35% off during special shopping events throughout the year.

Amazon Returns at Kohl's

Since 2019, Kohl's has partnered with Amazon to accept Amazon returns at all locations. You can bring eligible Amazon items to the Kohl's customer service desk - no box or label needed - and they'll handle the packaging and shipping for free. This partnership has become one of the most popular reasons people visit Kohl's, even if they're not shopping there that day.

The Amazon return desk is typically located near the front of the store and operates during regular store hours. It's worth noting that not all Amazon items are eligible for Kohl's drop-off, so check your Amazon return options before making the trip.

How Kohl's Compares to Similar Stores

If you're deciding between Kohl's and other retailers, here's how they stack up:

Kohl's vs. Target: Target carries a broader range of products including groceries, but Kohl's typically has a larger clothing selection and more frequent deep discounts on apparel. Target's hours (8 AM - 10 PM) give you a wider shopping window.

Kohl's vs. Macy's: Macy's skews slightly more upscale with higher-end brands, while Kohl's focuses on accessible price points. Kohl's stores are more commonly found in suburban strip malls rather than enclosed shopping malls.

Kohl's vs. JCPenney, Dillard's: Both compete in the mid-range department store space. Kohl's generally has more locations and more aggressive promotional pricing, while JCPenney tends to have a slightly larger home goods selection.

Shopping at Kohl's Online

Kohl's runs a full e-commerce operation at kohls.com with the same Kohl's Cash earning opportunities as in-store purchases. They offer several fulfillment options:

Ship to home: Standard shipping, with free shipping thresholds that change seasonally (usually $49+)

Buy Online, Pick Up In Store (BOPIS): Order online and pick up at your nearest Kohl's, usually ready within 2 hours

Curbside pickup: Same as BOPIS but brought to your car in the parking lot

Ship to store: Order online and have it shipped to a Kohl's location for free, regardless of order size

The Kohl's app also offers exclusive mobile-only deals and makes it easy to manage your Kohl's Cash and rewards while shopping in-store.

Sephora at Kohl's

Starting in 2021, Kohl's began partnering with Sephora to create dedicated Sephora shop-in-shop experiences inside hundreds of Kohl's locations. These mini Sephora stores carry a curated selection of prestige beauty brands that Kohl's didn't previously offer, including Fenty Beauty, Rare Beauty, and NARS. The Sephora sections operate during regular Kohl's store hours.

Tips for Shopping at Kohl's

Stack your savings by combining Kohl's Cash with percentage-off coupons and Kohl's Rewards - the discounts can add up quickly. Sign up for email alerts to know when Kohl's Cash earning periods start. If you're just dropping off an Amazon return, head straight to the customer service counter near the entrance to save time. And check the clearance racks, which are usually along the back and side walls - Kohl's markdowns can reach 80-90% off original prices during end-of-season sales.

Whether you're shopping for back-to-school clothes, returning an Amazon package, or browsing the new Sephora section, Kohl's consistent seven-days-a-week schedule means the store is ready when you are.
