MENOMONEE FALLS, Wis. (WKYC) — Kohl's has announced that as of Monday it has reopened all of its stores in Ohio.
“We are pleased to begin welcoming our customers back to Kohl’s,” said Michelle Gass, Kohl’s chief executive officer. “As we all adjust to a new normal, we will continue to provide the easy and efficient store experience that Kohl's customers love, while implementing many new rigorous procedures that prioritize the safety of our associates and customers. As we reopen and operate in a new environment, I want to thank our associates and customers for their ongoing loyalty and support. We're thrilled to have you back.”
Kohl's has opened its doors already in states where local stay-at-home orders have been lifted and reopening plans are in place.
Last Monday, Kohl’s reopened all stores in Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Georgia, Idaho, Mississippi, Montana and Texas, as well as the majority of its stores in Florida and Tennessee.
For the safety of customers and employees, new measures will be put in place, including limited store hours, social distancing guidelines, enhanced cleaning and more. Additionally, all Kohl's employees will be required to wear masks and gloves while in the store.
Until further notice, operating hours at all its stores will be reduced to 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., the company said. There will also be dedicated shopping hours for at-risk individuals from 11 a.m. to noon, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Fitting rooms will also remain closed down for now.
Kohl's also said that reopened stores will continue to accept Amazon returns, but at a separate area within each location.
