Kohl’s

Hey kids, looking for a Star Wars branded pair of sneakers, a tricked out crock-​pot or diamond ring for your sweetheart? A bra, pair of slacks, Nike gear, toaster oven, kitchen utensils? Yep, it’s one of those places. Sort of a big box store minus outdoor, patio furniture and gardening equipment. Nope, get your plumbing and electrical stuff at one of the other big box stores.
Messy, crowded, fairly disorganized (at least the clothing sections), marginal name brands (not that that’s important), that’s Kohl’s. EVERYTHING is on sale, all the time. «Like to apply for a Kohl’s valued customer card?» «No thanks.»
Look, if you want to go shopping, go to a mall. If you need something and you know what you’re looking for in clothing or jewelry, it’s probably here. The term «going shopping» doesn’t really apply here. Sorry, no espresso bar with wireless access while your gal is shopping, guys. The bar for clothes options is pretty low in Lawrence so expect every low-​end name brand you can get at many other stores. But I digress.
Generally, the people here are pretty nice but don’t expect to be approached to see if you need help. Could be a long wait. Oh, and the fitting rooms, expect a pile of someone else’s try-​ons. I’ve made my annual visit. See you in December, 2016, Kohl’s. Maybe.

If you get a charge card the sales will never stop coming!
I have shopped here forever and way too much. They have a great variety of clothes, household items, shoes, and jewlery/​accessories.
There are always new employees but they are all very helpful.
Sometimes the dressing rooms are a little crazy but aren’t all department stores.
The tip is to shop on sale days and on clearance or when they give you Kohl’s cash. Great store. Great for Lawrence.

It’s Kohl’s. What do you expect from a large chain department store?
They’ve got some decent clothes, but the big attraction here is their crazy, crazy sales. One can easily create a whole wardrobe for less than $ 150 bucks and look presentable doing it. You probably won’t be on the cutting edge of fashion, but if you’re on the cutting edge of fashion you’re probably not excited by 75% off sales on dress slacks.
Decent customer service, as in they leave you alone and don’t stalk you in the aisles, but can be easily found if needed.
All the atmosphere of a sterile medical clinic, but the bright lighting and low sight lines makes it easy to avoid the annoying screaming baby in it’s stroller while the mom eyes clothes she might’ve worn 10 years ago.
You may have to dig a bit to find what you want, but the money you’ll save makes putting up with the rest of the trip worth it.
