(Kohl's previously announced it would discontinue eight brands but did not name them.) "We've nearly doubled our active sales since 2013, and we see continued momentum in this category as customers focus on staying healthy," said CEO Michelle Gass on the call. In addition, Kohl's has begun a phased approach to reopening stores across the country and about 50% of its brick-and-mortar outlets are now open with modified operations. On March 30, Kohl's temporarily furloughed store and store distribution center associates, as well as some corporate office associates whose work has been significantly reduced by the store closures. Glass stopped taking a salary on that date for the duration the COVID-19 crisis.
