Kohl's Sale Talks Fall Apart - Page 2

The Kohl's near me used to be very well stocked and was a good place to find something specific. I never enjoyed it for fun browsing. T.J. Maxx is much better for that.

This means they will be selling their physical stores, liquidating inventory and closing their doors.

@Snowpuppy I don't think so maybe some but not all. Pennys is still going strong at Stonecrest Mall here.

I know many years ago Kohl's sold quality merchandise. The last time I was there to make an Amazon return, I looked around. I couldn't find anything I wanted. The Kohls cash, coupons and other gimmicks are not worth the hassle if what I am buying is poor quality. I used to love their bedding. I have a beautiful king-sized patchwork quilt from Kohls I bought twenty years ago for my grandbabies to crawl on, and it still looks great. Nothing like that now. JCP is still using the coupons and promos because when they stopped they went down the tubes. Guess they are still hanging on by a thread. Putting too weak companies together can't have a good outcome,

TJ Maxx is a close out store, that means they buy after other retailers make their orders. So they pay reduced prices and stuff is cheaper there. Their stock is essentially leftovers with broken sizes. Top items are already scooped up by first line stores. Ex buyer here.

@depglass Your description of T J Maxx is perfect, yet beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. TJX Stores (Maxx, Marshalls, and Home Goods) is pulling in cash, both in retail sales and stock. So many times over the past years I've thought about investing but didn't. As "they" say, buy the stock of the places where you shop.

@depglass you are so correct. Went there once and never went back. It was well stocked but no organization whatsoever and you could hardly get around.

I have a great close-out store story.

Many years ago there was a Ross store close to where I worked. It was well stocked with quality merchandise and I loved it.

But it closed and reopened 4 miles away. The new store was no better than a thrift shop, so I wrote to Ross to complain.

The person who responded agreed with me. He gave me a $50 gift certificate, but more than that, he told me which Ross stores within a 100-mile radius were "special."

Special meaning:

1. Regularly receive high-end merchandise.

2. Were used by Ross to test out unusual offerings.

3. Had the highest merchandise turnover rate.

And for a year, he let me know if something really special was happening in my area.

He made me feel very special.
