All 37 stores opening today feature green operational enhancements. These include high-efficiency heating and cooling systems; occupancy sensor lighting for stockrooms, break rooms and offices; and a recycling program for cardboard boxes, hangers and packaging. In addition, the Plantation, Fla., location is one of 64 Kohl's stores nationwide built according to a store prototype that has received Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) initial certification at the Silver level from the U.S. Green Building Council. The store's green attributes also include recycled and locally obtained building materials and water-conserving plumbing fixtures.

Kohl's is proud to be the largest retail host of solar power in the world, with 78 solar locations nationwide, including 58 in California. Kohl's expects that once activated, the Point West location opening this fall in Sacramento will be Kohl's 59th solar location in the state. In addition, more than 300 Kohl's stores, more than 60 in California alone, have earned EPA's ENERGY STAR label for superior energy efficiency and environmental performance.
