MENOMONEE FALLS, WI, -- (Business Wire) –March 5, 2009 -- Kohl’s Corporation (NYSE: KSS) reported today that total sales for the four-week month ended February 28, 2009 increased 3.6 percent from the four-week month ended March 1, 2008.  On a comparable store basis, sales decreased 1.6 percent.  

Kevin Mansell, Kohl’s president and chief executive officer, commented, “February’s 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.”
