KOHL'S CORPORATION REPORTS AUGUST COMPARABLE STORE SALES  


MENOMONEE FALLS, WI, -- (Business Wire) – September 3, 2008 -- Kohl’s Corporation (NYSE: KSS) reported today that sales for the four-week month ended August 30, 2008 increased 2.6 percent from the four-week month ended September 1, 2007. On a comparable store basis, sales decreased 5.8 percent.  

Total year-to-date sales were up 2.6 percent over the comparable prior year period.  On a comparable store basis, year-to-date sales decreased 5.6 percent.

Kevin Mansell, Kohl’s president and chief executive officer, commented, “As expected, August was more difficult than our expectations of a 2 to 4 percent comparable sales decrease for the third quarter.  Some traditional back-to-school business such as footwear and children’s performed well while other areas such as juniors and young men’s were more challenging.  We continue to manage our inventory levels and expenses conservatively in this environment.”
