Kohl's Keeps Growing

Last year, the retailer opened 112 new stores -- 80 on one day in October. At the close of fiscal 2007, Kohl's operated 929 stores in 47 states compared with 817 stores in 45 states at the end of 2006.

This year, Kohl's plans to open 70 to 75 stores, one of which will be its 1000^th store. This is impressive during an economic slowdown. Kohl's is worth studying for success secrets, and we will do more of that in this space.

In fact, coming this week, we will report, in our Green Blog, on Kohl's environmental initiatives. Tune in.
