The men’s department is many times larger than any discount retailer, with large selections of brands from Nike and Under Armour to Columbia, Izod, Dockers and many more. <figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=0cH5yv_0wEhuJlh00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0cH5yv_0wEhuJlh00" width="2048" height="1102" ></figure>And, the prices (with Grand Opening specials throughout the store) were more reasonable than I expected, too — especially when you sign up for a Kohl’s membership or credit card (or both). I ended up buying an Apt. 9 sports jacket for myself for less than $100, a nice silk tie to go with the jacket for around $20 and a V-neck T-shirt for less than $10. The women’s department was even larger (and the Sephora beauty supply area was bigger than I remember at the JC Penney at the Shops at Wiregrass) and the departments for kids and babies (I bought some Bluey and Spider-Man pajamas for the grandkids) were as large or larger than what I’ve seen at, say, Target. There also was a selection of Halloween-themed merchandise (and clothing) available in several departments. And, again unlike Ross or Marshall’s, everything is well organized and clearly marked. Is Kohl’s the department store of my dreams? Maybe not. But, considering how close Jannah and I live to it and the prices I’ve already found, I think we’ll both be visiting regularly. For more information, call (813) 501- 2601 or visit Kohls.com. And, please tell them I sent you! — GN<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=0iSFbF_0wEhuJlh00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0iSFbF_0wEhuJlh00" width="1049" height="556" ></figure></div></body>
