KOHL'S CORPORATION REPORTS DECEMBER COMPARABLE STORE SALES
INCREASE OF 3 PERCENT



MENOMONEE FALLS, WI, -- (Business Wire) – January 4, 2007 -- Kohl’s Corporation (NYSE: KSS) reported today that sales for the five-week period ended December 30, 2006 increased 11.2 percent over the five-week period ended December 31, 2005. On a comparable store basis, sales increased 3.0 percent.  

For the nine weeks ended December 30, 2006 total sales increased 11.7 percent while comparable store sales increased 3.3 percent.

For the 48 weeks ended December 30, 2006, total sales increased 14.4 percent while comparable store sales increased 5.7 percent.

Larry Montgomery, Kohl’s chairman and chief executive officer, commented, “December’s sales results were driven by strong performance over the last two weeks as a result of last-minute shoppers in the fourth week and gift card redemptions in the last week of the month.  This helped offset weak consumer demand of cold-weather merchandise such as outerwear, sweaters, and boots throughout the month.”

The Company remains comfortable with its previous earnings guidance of $1.36 to $1.42 per diluted share for the fourth quarter.
