Kohl's to close distribution center in Wisconsin

New York City Kohl's Corp. plans to close its distribution center in Menomonee Falls, Wis., where the company is based.

The closing is set for Jan. 29, 2010, and will affect 250 jobs. It followed an assessment of the company's distribution network.

The affected employees, including part-time and full-time workers, will be offered identical jobs at the remaining 10 DCs, the company said.

The 84 stores that used the Menomonee Falls DC will use the company's center in Ottawa, Ill. Kohl's remaining DCs are in seven states. None are in Wisconsin.
