Kohl’s to expand in Albuquerque

Albuquerque, N.M. Kohl’s has signed a long-term lease to take the former Mervyn’s space at Coronado Center in Albuquerque, N.M., and will be open by October.

A lease for 118,272 sq. ft. was finalized last weekend and demolition work started this week.

Kohl’s also operates one store in Santa Fe and one in Las Cruces, N.M. It took 30 former Mervyn’s California store sites in 2009 and converted them to its own units in a burst of expansion.
