Why any store would do business with Amazon is beyond me. They then wonder why they have to close their doors. They are just fueling their competition, its insane.
@Monkposty The only reason businesses ever get into bed with another busines is MONEY MONEY MONEY
I assume the plunge in quality of Kohl’s items and the struggle to keep costumers coming to Kohl’s brick and mortar stores when other anchor stores in the same shopping center are gone is driving Kohl’s toward a stable partner. Kohl’s used to be a store with middle quality merch, but in the last few years they’ve been stocking very cheaply made clothing along the lines of Walmart and lower-end appliances and homegoods. That may mean their profits are receding.
