\"Kohl\u2019s\"<\/a>Founded in 1962, Kohl\u2019s is now America’s fastest growing department store. Kohl\u2019s began by challenging both discount chains and full-service department store retailers with a unique formula of value pricing for name-brand apparel. While some stores are located in enclosed shopping malls, the majority of Kohl\u2019s stores are free-standing. The most noticeable distinction between Kohl’s and the traditional department store format is that all Kohl’s stores have centralized checkouts found at the front entrance to the store. Kohl’s initiated the use of a racetrack aisle that circles the entire store, a technique borrowed from discount stores but rarely used in department stores.<\/p>\n

\"CSG<\/a>This year, Chain Store Guide celebrates its 80th anniversary. In honor of this occasion, we are hosting a monthly series of editorials called \u201cChain Store Guide Through The Ages<\/a>\u201d, starting with the 1930s. We will take a look at what was happening in that time and how it affected the industries we now serve. Our Company Snapshots<\/a> will examine companies from that period and see where they are today.
