Kohls Corp reported today that total sales for February increased 3.6% to $1 billion from $971.6 million. On a comparable store basis, sales decreased 1.6%.
Kevin Mansell, Kohls president and chief executive officer, commented, “Februarys sales results exceeded our expectations as regular price selling offset significantly lower levels of clearance sales. Although we are pleased with the results, we intend to continue to plan sales conservatively and flow receipts accordingly in 2009.”
