Benzinga’s weekly Stock Wars matches up two leaders in a major industry sector with the goal of determining which company is the better investment.
This week, the duel is between two leading department store chains: Kohl’s Corporation and Ross Stores Inc.
The Case for Kohl’s
Wisconsin grocer Maxwell Kohl operated a chain of supermarkets called Kohl’s Food Stores before branching into the department store sector in 1962 with a venue in suburban Wisconsin. The company simultaneously pursued the department store and supermarket industries, ultimately selling off the latter in 1983 to A&P.
