Kohl’s plans grand reopening at Coralville store

CORALVILLE - Kohl's will unveil the new look of its remodeled Coralville store on March 25, part of the retailer's plan to upgrade about 100 stores this year.

Depending on the location, the Menomonee Falls, Wis., department store chain said the remodeling will include redesigned home and junior's departments, updated children's, jewelry and shoe departments, updated fitting rooms and new merchandise displays to highlight trends. Shoppers also will see an updated customer service desk and check-out stations as well as remodeled restrooms.

The 84,000-square-foot Kohl's at 2795 Commerce Dr. opened in 2001.
