Plus there's a Petco attached to the Kohl's store. If Kroger expands out to that property then it will be a mega mega store and we'll all need motorized scooters to shop there!

Both stores seemed to always be pretty busy, often with lines at the checkout ... and PACKED during the holidays. But under-performing can mean so many things so who knows all the reasons behind their being among the stores being closed. Pray that the remaining metro stores will survive long term.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-27824047160672160842016-03-18T11:45:24.662-04:002016-03-18T11:45:24.662-04:00I don't see that Kroger taking that Kohl's...I don't see that Kroger taking that Kohl's location in Roswell.

Realize you are short a belt, sox, or cuff links, you've got a bailout down the street. And yeah, the prices are gimmicky and weird, but you can find deals now and thing. Especially if you have kids. I do like that they've brought back Columbia, Chaps, etc. and other brands that went missing during the depths of the Great Recession. OK quality and materials that won't fall apart after three washings.jeff a. taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12318074644131544308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-68740209923537986472016-03-17T13:24:01.891-04:002016-03-17T13:24:01.891-04:00Sad to see Kohls leave Northlake.

And that isn't the entire mall as we think of it - it excludes the sizeable parcels that are the other anchor stores other than Kohl's (it's clear in the property tax records that it's the old business model, whereby JCP, Macy's and Sears own the dirt that their respective stores and parking lots occupy). The new owner doesn't have full control of the mall as long as those anchors continue to own. If they have plans for redevelopment, I wonder if Kohl's departure is a first step in a longer range plan which may include acquiring some or all of the remaining mall properties. <br /><br />I will be sad to see Kohl's go. I shop there fairly often since it's so convenient to the neighborhood (I don't love shopping and dislike driving and traffic even more.) But I do look forward to seeing what's to come from the new owner since I think this may be a sign that there are real changes coming, and that can only be for the best. It's sad that the mall's best days have been behind it for a lot of years. The neighborhood is full of people with money to spend who would support something better in their community.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-19383762523352332842016-03-17T10:16:25.805-04:002016-03-17T10:16:25.805-04:00I am really surprised Kohls is closing at Northlak...I am really surprised Kohls is closing at Northlake. Roswell I can understand because there's another Kohls just a few miles up Holcomb Bridge towards Marietta. But with Northlake closing, the closest Kohls to Intown would be East Cobb. I believe that Kohls merchandise is superior to clothes at similar dept stores like Marshalls or TJ Maxx or JC Penny with better pricing and more varied offerings and higher quality clothes.Are people Intown just not going shopping as much as they do in the northern suburbs or do they not have enough money to?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-579719431387122896.post-66245880790201543512016-03-17T10:06:28.948-04:002016-03-17T10:06:28.948-04:00Pretty much all of my business casual attire that ...Pretty much all of my business casual attire that I wear every day is from Kohls.
