The department store chain had said earlier this year that more than two dozen “underperforming” stores would close by April. Here’s the latest. Back in January, Kohl’s announced that it would be closing 27 of its stores across America in order to help the company control costs and increase operational efficiency.

Saturday will be the last day of business for two Kohl's stores in our area. The Kohl's in Pottstown, Chester County and East Windsor, Mercer County, are among 27 stores closing across the country. Kohl's is trying to turn things around as sales decline.
