The San Bernardino fulfillment center will also be closed
The retailer’s planned “real estate changes” for 2025 involve closing its San Bernardino e-commerce fulfillment center in California also in May, the retailer said.
The company has “increased efficiency with new technology capabilities at EFC’s newest facilities and expanded the company’s ability to fulfill customer orders from store locations, allowing the ‘company to maintain its ability to fulfill orders without the San Bernardino facility,’ he explained.
In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the retailer said it will see pre-tax charges of $60-80 million related to the “real estate and workforce rationalization” it announced .
These charges will largely occur in the last quarter of 2024, according to Kohl’s.
