Under its turnaround plan, which was put in place by then-CEO Tom Kingsbury, Kohl's has doubled down on proprietary brands and increased its focus on fine jewelry, home decor, petites, impulse items and Sephora beauty departments. The retailer will finish the roll out of the Sephora shop-in-shops this spring with the opening of some 105 shops. "The most notable area we are correcting is our jewelry business, which we displaced as we rolled up Sephora in our stores," Timm said on the earnings call. According to a report by WWD, Kohl's fired Buchanan on grounds that he directed the company to conduct business with coffee startup Incredibrew, which was founded and run by his girlfriend, Chandra Holt. Buchanan, who did not disclose his relationship to Holt, also directed Kohl's to enter into a consulting agreement with the Boston Consulting Group, where Holt was once an adviser, the report said.
