I do like Kohls. Why? Well the one department that I always go to is the housewares / kitchen area. I do like the Bobby Flay cookware and Food Network is really putting out some really nice flatware / serving ware and their cookware, although on the more expensive side, is pretty nice.
As for other departments, I think they are comparable to Penny's or Macy's with a lot of really good sales / deals for just about everyone. I did 60% of all my Christmas shopping last year after spending hours in the mall. Definitely a place to stop.
I understand that the location is not ideal but there is a Dicks, Home Depot, and a Tuesday Morning in the same area along with a couple great places to eat (Naya, Qdoba, Malley's, Panera Bread, and a Hibachi place I have yet to eat at) so feel free to head on over and spend an afternoon.
