KOHL'S CORPORATION REPORTS MARCH COMPARABLE STORE SALES  

MENOMONEE FALLS, WI, -- (Business Wire) – April 10, 2008 -- Kohl’s Corporation (NYSE: KSS) reported today that sales for the five-week period ended April 5, 2008 decreased 7.9 percent over the five-week period ended April 7, 2007. On a comparable store basis, sales decreased 15.5 percent.  For the nine weeks ended April 5, 2008, total sales decreased 3.2 percent and comparable store sales decreased 11.1 percent.

Larry Montgomery, Kohl’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Sales in weather-sensitive businesses such as shorts,  tanks, polos and sandals experienced significant declines on a comparable store basis, contributing to our sales shortfall.  We have been conservative in our inventory planning and expense management and will continue to do so until the environment improves.”

The Company now expects its first quarter comparable sales to be in the negative high-single digit range and its earnings to be $0.40 to $0.42 per diluted share.
