This spring, Kohl’s plans to open nine new stores in five states, creating more than 1,500 jobs. The retailer expects to open a total of approximately 30 stores by the end of the year.

Kohl’s nine new stores will be located in Maryland, New York, Oregon and Pennsylvania. In addition, the retailer plans to remodel 85 stores this year.

“We continue to bring customers new stores where they can enjoy Kohl’s great brands and tremendous values and invest in our existing store base—remodeling 85 stores, 66 percent more stores than last year—to keep the customer experience fresh and exciting,” says Kevin Mansell, Kohl’s chairman, president and chief executive officer.

Kohl’s currently operates 1,067 stores in 49 states. Licensed product lines found at the retailer include Simply Vera Vera Wang, Food Network, LC Lauren Conrad and Avril Lavigne’s Abbey Dawn.
