Kohl’s department store closing in San Luis Obispo

January 11, 2025

By KAREN VELIE

Kohl’s department stores announced Friday it is closing 27 underperforming stores, including its San Luis Obispo location, as it works to increase profitability amid falling sales.

It is not yet known how many people will lose their jobs. The department store chain is offering employees severance packages or the ability to apply to other open positions at Kohl’s.

Kohl’s has more than 1,150 stores nationwide. Ten of the 27 closures are in California.

Both the Paso Robles and Santa Maria Kohl’s stores will remain open at this time.

Maybe they should check ID and if customers have access to funds before entering the store. No ID or funds no entrance, then if someone walks out with stolen items they know who they are.

You go first. Post your SSN so we can verify your credit. We also need to see two forms of gov’t issued ID and your last 30 days of paystubs and bank statements.


Papers, please.

Used to be Mervyn’s they went out of business in 2009 and before that Beno’s (free pair of jeans if you let them spray paint their logo on your car door). The space will be divided; dollar store, tattoo shop, nail salon, cell store, payday loans, maybe a smoke shop… the new engines of American business.

Goodbye middle class. The wealthy don’t shop there and the poor can’t afford to.

Truth be known, this store, as with many others, has been shoplifted to death. In my town, a Walgreens drugstore was closed because of rampant thievery.

Facts pulled from the rear of….

Cost go up because of theft. Store close because a lack of clientele.


Bento’s was also a great store. It gave way to Mervyn’s or another earlier replacement.

Orange Juilios was also a great establishment in that mall that perished. Straw hat pizza was also a staple. There used to be a movie theater there too. Thrifty’s gone as well.

It will be replaced.


FYI.. Walgreens drove all your local pharmacies out of business. Good riddance.


This isn’t a result of crime.


Shop more locally.

And I’m sure you have the name of the town and the evidence that it was shut down due to rampant thievery handy and ready to provide to us …

Oxnard. Walgreen’s located at N. Oxnard Blvd at Vineyard. Last time I was in there the shopping carts had long poles attached to them to prevent them from leaving the store. When I asked the clerk about the poles she said “shop lifting and cart stealing are so rampant we had to try this.” That store was closed permanently shortly after that. Today it is an empty shell. Prop 36 may have helped, but it was too late. As the article about a purse being lost and recovered at In-N-Out, California has a population willing to steal, when given any opportunity.

Our limited shopping choices will now be reduced to close to nothing. On-line shopping is good for somethings but not everything.
