 Kohl's Corp. said Monday that it will extend store closures until further notice and, as a result, will furlough many store associates, distribution center workers and corporate staff whose duties are tied to store operations. Kohl's still offers e-commerce ordering and, starting April 2, in-store pickup between the hours of 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. local time will be available. Furloughed staff will continue to receive existing health benefits. Chief Executive Michelle Gass will forego her salary. Macy's Inc. announced that it would furlough most of its 130,000 workforce on Monday. Kohl's has drawn down its entire $1 billion revolving credit facility, is slashing its capital expenditures by $500 million, is suspending share buybacks and taking a look at the dividend program, and is cutting expenses across marketing, technology and other areas of the business. Kohl's stock sank 6.4% on Monday and has fallen 76% over the last year. The S&P 500 index is down 8% for the past 12 months.
