Kohl’s Department Stores to create more than 1,000 jobs in San Antonio, TX
April 20th, 2010 - 10:18 pm ICT by BNO NewsAUSTIN, TEXAS (BNO NEWS) – Kohl’s Department Stores will receive an investment of $750,000 through the Texas Enterprise Fund (TEF) for the creation of a customer operations center in San Antonio, Governor Rick Perry announced on Tuesday.
Kohl’s will create 150 jobs at the moment but expects to generate more than 1,000 jobs and $18 million in capital investment. The new facility will provide e-commerce, credit analysis and collections functions for the growing retail chain.
According to Governor Perry, companies are coming to Texas due to the low taxes, reasonable and predictable regulatory climate, skilled workforce, and incentives such as the TEF.
“This Texas Enterprise Fund investment in Kohl’s will bring more than 1,000 jobs to San Antonio and further strengthen and diversify this vibrant community’s economic environment,” Governor Perry said.
“Kohl’s choice to place their financing and e-commerce center here, adding more than 1,000 jobs, only strengthens our growing economy. We are excited they have chosen San Antonio as the site of their first major expansion outside of their headquarters office,” a member of the San Antonio Economic Development Foundation said.
