(FOX40.COM) — Kohl’s has announced some real estate changes that include closing some stores across the United States by April 2025.

The San Bernardino E-commerce Distribution Center is to close at the end of its lease term in May 2025. According to a statement from Kohl’s, the San Bernadino facility has been working with Kohl’s since 2010, and it is one of their 15 EFCs and distributing centers in Kohl’s supply chain across the country. With the most recent technologies, it has increased its efficiencies at the newer EFC facilities which has expanded the company’s ability to fulfill customer orders from store locations.

This would allow the company to maintain its ability to fulfill orders without the San Bernardino facility, said officials. In Jan. 2025, Kohl’s announced that they have plans to close 27 stores of its more than 1,150 locations.

Below is the list of stores that are scheduled to be shut down in the United States. Bay Area locations are in bold.

According to a press release, the stores that are scheduled to close were underperforming. Officials said, “All associates have been informed, and offered a competitive severance package or the ability to apply to other open roles at Kohl’s.

“We always take these decisions very seriously,” said Tom Kingsbury, Kohl’s chief executive officer. “As we continue to build on our long-term growth strategy, it is important that we also take difficult but necessary actions to support the health and future of our business for our customers and our teams.”

​Kohl’s has announced the closure of 27 stores and the San Bernardino E-commerce Distribution center due to underperformance and the need to focus on long-term growth and health of the business.
