Kevin Mansell, Kohl's chairman, president and chief executive officer,
said, “We are pleased with the improvement we saw in sales as the
quarter progressed. The improvement was the most dramatic in the month
of July where we achieved a positive comp. As they consistently do, our
teams did a great job of managing expenses throughout the quarter. We
enter the back-to-school season with fresh, new inventory and
encouraging momentum."
