Kohl’s will close its e-commerce fulfillment center in Monroe, Ohio, on October 31, resulting in the layoff of 768 employees, with most affected workers’ last day on September 12. The decision is based on improved efficiency at newer facilities and aims to bolster operational discipline and cost efficiency amidst a challenging retail environment. The Ohio center, operational since 2001, is among multiple changes at Kohl’s, including executive shifts and recent cost-cutting measures. Despite these closures, the company plans to invest $400 million to $425 million in supply chain improvements, including an expansion in Indiana.
