3 /5 A. Mark Hawkins: This review is from the perspective of a male shopper who is addicted to shopping fashion and such!
I decided today to finally shop at Kohls in Baytown, TX. Overall, it was a pleasant first experience here. I gave myself three hours on March 10, 2025.
My intention was to purchase mens jogging athletic shorts. Lucky for me, Kohls was having a Special Offer 40 to save 40% to apply as for a Kohls Card Holder, presented by Capital One.
The negatives were several for today. First, their mens clearance clothing racks advertised up to 75% off. However, I didnt find anything close to a decent discount in my size. More in the ranges of 10-25% off as for clearance goes.
Secondly, the pair of mens shoes and sandals by Sonoma were on the front aisle end cap but no prices anywhere, so I had to walk away to find an associate with her store computer.
Being that I wear a size 13, I chose to purchase them for $23.99 with their discount. It is still steep for often being manufactured in China.
The Mens Department offered many more brands than say Target or Walmart, but in jogging shorts, they did not have an affordable alternative to the Tek Gear brand of sports shorts by Kohls. They also dont disclose the manufacturer on their Kohls tags.
The price was $14.99 after their 40 percent off. More affordable for retail.
Also, the Bluetooth turntables that were marked down for clearance werent really marked down to be bought. There are a dime for a dozen for an array of manufacturers online that kill your weak markdowns.
Try better than that first glance over a three hour shopping excursion, Kohls management, and I will spend more here.
Besides a very weak electronic area, I only found one vinyl lp album by the artist Aliyah. Its not my idea of a fun time shopping with what I enjoy shopping for in department stores.
I decided not to purchase one pair of small jogging shorts, one mens pajamas, and four to five seed and grow kits on clearance and not on clearance. Because Kohls refuses to honor their 40 off store card special for every store item available to purchase. Mostly, its with their clearance items. Oh well, it goes back on the shelves for good.
The positive, few but notable things were a super clean mens room appearance and fresh smelling mens room with a diaper changing station for a baby. And plenty of bright light in there. Clean fixtures and urinals! Oh, and their fitting rooms were clean and cozy too!
Well done. I always check a department store out thoroughly when I apply for their store credit card. And for details to be disclosed in every local guide Maps reviews. That is what really matters a lot. The little details that should be noted in public, about a business or a especially a restaurant.
A solid three Stars for effort. Do better Kohls to hold my interest next time. Ill probably end up shopping at Kohls in Houston a few months from now! For more selection of sports clothes, electronics and cook ware.
Also, the last poorly noticeable attempt at big box retail was a very weak pet selection for feline items! Sad, no respect for the love of a sweet animal!
I would have spent an additional $40 on a couple of feline body suit s or cat clothing this visit. Instead, my bill only turned out to be $56.93. Anything under $60 is a success on my credit end. Three STARS, maybe its two and a half! Well have to wait and see if I will update this particular Kohls anytime soon in Baytown, TX.
