Yes, there WILL be a Kohl's in Woodstock

Having heard nothing about the new Kohl's in Woodstock since the City's announcement some time back, today I drove over behind Mercy Woodstock and next to Menard's, and there it is.

The building is up, and a sign at the road announces that opening day will be March 4, and the Grand Opening will be March 7.

Just imagine what goes into opening a new store like this: site selection; lease or purchase of land; permits; site design (although they probably have building plans on the shelf); ordering of display counters, computers, lighting, furnishings; merchandise inventory; personnel (hiring, training, paying); advertising, etc. Kind of makes your head spin, doesn't it?

See you there on March 4.

Kohl's is nice, but their "fat man's" section doesn't go up to my size so I gotta go to JCP. would be nice if they got a liquor license too! DOH!
