Kohl's Will Exit Ridgefield In January: Report

RIDGEFIELD, CT — Department store chain Kohl's will be closing in Ridgefield in January, according to signage on its Copps Hill Plaza location.

The notification on the front door names Jan. 16 as the store's last day of business.

According to a report published last year in the News-Times, the HomeGoods was on track to take over about a quarter of the store, while Kohl's consolidated into the remaining space.

Now it appears the department store is leaving for good. Data on the website for Regency Centers, which operates the shopping plaza, indicates the developer is actively shopping for a client for the remaining 65,400 square feet of retail space. HomeGoods, part of a chain of home furnishing stores headquartered in Framingham, MA, will occupy the 24,173 square feet of former Kohl's space nearest the Stop & Shop.

Kohl's opened in Ridgefield in April 2000.
