Kohl’s stores typically open between 9:00 AM and 10:00 AM and close at 9:00 PM, with hours extending through the holiday season. Kohl’s closes on exactly three holidays a year: Easter Sunday, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. Below you’ll find Kohl’s opening hours today, closing times, the full holiday schedule and the extended hours that run from early November.
Kohl’s is more seasonal than most chains. From early November stores can open as early as 7:00 AM and stay open as late as midnight, so the hours you find in October won’t be the hours in December.
Kohl’s hours today at a glance
Kohl’s Opening Hours Today (+ Closing Hours)
Kohl’s hours vary more by location and season than most of the chains on this site. The times below are the common pattern outside the holiday season. From early November, stores extend at both ends, opening as early as 7:00 AM and closing as late as midnight in the final week before Christmas.
Kohl’s Holiday Season Extended Hours
From the first week of November, Kohl’s moves onto an extended holiday schedule. Stores open as early as 7:00 AM and close as late as midnight, with the longest days falling in the week before Christmas. This is a deliberate chain-wide change rather than a store-by-store decision, though the exact times still vary locally.
Two dates are fixed across the chain. Christmas Eve, most stores close at 7:00 PM, with some running until 8:00 PM. New Year’s Eve, every store closes at 7:00 PM. Those are firm closing times rather than the usual local variation, so they’re worth planning around.
Outside the holiday season, Kohl’s returns to the more typical 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM pattern with a slightly earlier Sunday close.
Kohl’s Closing Hours
Closing time is listed for each day in the table above. Staff begin closing down registers in the final fifteen minutes, so arriving ten minutes before close makes for a rushed trip.

Kohl’s Saturday and Sunday Hours
Kohl’s Saturday hours
Kohl’s Saturday hours are 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM, which is the same as a weekday. Saturday is the busiest day of the week at almost every location, with the heaviest traffic between late morning and mid afternoon. If you need a service counter rather than the shop floor, aim for the first hour after opening, because the lines build quickly once the morning gets going.
Kohl’s Sunday hours
Kohl’s Sunday hours are 9:00 AM to 8:00 PM, which is shorter than the rest of the week. Sunday afternoon is consistently one of the two busiest windows of the week, so an early Sunday visit is far more comfortable than an afternoon one. Service departments may also run reduced Sunday staffing even where the main floor is fully open.
How to Check Kohl’s Hours Before You Go
Hours on this page reflect the schedule used by the large majority of Kohl’s locations, but any individual store can differ, and holiday times in particular are often set locally. Three ways to confirm, in order of reliability:
- The official Kohl’s store locator, which is the only source the company itself updates. It is linked in the section above.
- The store’s Google Business listing, which usually shows special holiday hours a week or two in advance and is a good cross-check.
- Calling the store directly, which is the only method that catches a same-day change such as a weather closure or a staffing shortage.
The day before a holiday closure is when it matters most, since that is also when Kohl’s is at its busiest and least likely to answer the phone quickly.
Kohl’s Busy Hours and the Best Time to Shop
Kohl’s is quietest on weekday mornings in the first couple of hours after opening, and on weekday evenings in the last hour. Tuesday and Wednesday are the calmest days.
The peak is Saturday from late morning onward, and the entire stretch from Black Friday to Christmas Eve. Kohl’s Cash redemption windows create their own spikes, so the first few days of a redemption period are busier than the days either side.
