Kohl’s Partners With Award Winning TV Personality
Cristina Saralegui To Offer Exclusive Home Furnishings Line

MENOMONEE FALLS, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kohl’s Corporation (NYSE:KSS) today announced plans to launch a new home furnishings line by Cristina Saralegui in over two hundred stores and on Kohls.com in December.

“Partnering with Kohl’s, one of the most respected and fastest growing national retailers in America, enables me to share my creative vision with a broader audience”

Cristina, a 30-year veteran journalist and best known as the host and executive producer of “The Cristina Show,” the leading U.S.-produced program on Spanish language television, developed Casa Cristina - a collection of beautifully designed, high quality home furnishings. Casa Cristina provides consumers with a broad selection of home furnishings that appeal to a wide range of design preferences. The line includes items that invoke a strong Hispanic design, as well as classically designed products with a Mediterranean influence.

“Partnering with Kohl’s, one of the most respected and fastest growing national retailers in America, enables me to share my creative vision with a broader audience,” said Saralegui. “The Casa Cristina brand creates a new layer in American style by combining my personal creativity with the warmth and excitement of Hispanic and global design.”

Beginning in December, Casa Cristina’s bedding and soft bath categories will be available exclusively at Kohl’s. Cristina Saralegui oversaw the development and creation of the home furnishings. Kohl’s will be the exclusive retailer and marketer in the United States of the Casa Cristina’s bedding and soft bath categories.

“Cristina has significant name-recognition among Kohl’s Hispanic shoppers and we believe Cristina’s vibrant sense of style will appeal to a broad cross section of consumers,” said Kevin Mansell, president of Kohl’s. “We are confident that this exclusive partnership and world class brand launch will resonate with our shoppers and further differentiate Kohl’s in the marketplace.”

Casa Cristina’s bedding and bath products, such as sheet sets, bedding sets, bath towels and decorative towels, will be available in selected Kohl’s stores and at kohls.com. The line will launch in all stores in Spring 2007 with bedding, bath and table linens, ultimately expanding into decorative pillows, rugs and decorations across several home categories.
