Retail giant Kohl’s appears to be making plans to open a location in North Kalispell.
The national department store offers a range of items including clothing and home goods.
Kohl’s is listed on the agenda for the city of Kalispell's site development review committee for a retail shell on U.S. 93 North.
In an email, a Kohl’s spokesperson said the company does not comment on “real estate speculation.”
Not much detail about the project has been submitted to the city at this point, though meeting minutes for the committee state that the hope is to start construction on the building this year. The address listed with the city would place the store in the Spring Prairie Commons shopping center, which already includes Old Navy, Hobby Lobby and REI stores.
Kohl’s had previously signaled plans to construct a store in Kalispell, but that was scrapped in 2009.
The first Kohl’s department store opened in Brookfield, Wisconsin, in 1962, and the chain now includes more than 1,000 stores in 49 states, according to the company’s website.
Kohl’s has three Montana locations with stores in Billings, Bozeman and Missoula.
