Kohl's Department Stores plans to open 28 stores in the Southern California area next spring. This will be the first time that the company will be a coast-to-coast presence. This announcement took place right after J.D. Power & Associates reported that Kohl's was rated highest in customer satisfaction among the largest moderately priced department stores. Based in Menomonee Falls, WI, Kohl's is a specialty department store offering moderately priced national brand apparel, shoes, accessories, and home products. The company operates 457 stores in 33 states.
