Kohl's Traffic is Growing Again, Report Says -- Market Talk
Dow Jones2026/08/18 17:161316 ET - Kohl's same-store visits grew in both June and July, marking the chain's first back-to-back monthly gains in roughly two years, according to a recent Placer.ai report. The hot streak comes after its traffic decline moderated in 2Q to 1.4% from a 7.7% slide in 1Q, the report says. Kohl's has been working to sharpen its positioning as a local, value-focused stop for everyday errands as it looks to buck a downturn across the department store industry, Placer.ai says. "The chain could be poised for sunnier days if visits maintain their early-summer trajectory," the report says. Kohl's is slated to report 2Q results next week.(kelly.cloonan@wsj.com)
