Kohl’s adds more fire power to its offerings
On the heels of a strong second quarter performance, Kohl’s Corp. is bringing another familiar name into its brand portfolio.
Starting in July 2019, the retailer will offer Nine West footwear, handbags and outerwear in all its stores, along with an expanded assortment online. In addition, Kohl’s will debut a new Nine West women’s apparel collection.

Kohl’s second-quarter profit surged 40% to $292 million its second quarter. Men’s and women’s apparel were its top-performing divisions.
