Kohl’s Announces Store Closures: What It Means for Eastern Iowa

Kohl’s is arguably one of the most popular retail chains. Here in Eastern Iowa, we have several locations including a couple in Cedar Rapids, one in Cedar Falls, Mason City, Coralville, and Dubuque.

I have to say with a certain degree of bias, I shop regularly at the location near my house in Cedar Falls.

Unfortunately, like many other major retailers and chain restaurants, Kohl’s is shutting down locations a small number of its 1,150 locations across the United States this April.
