Kohl's to open location in Odessa at the end of March
The 35,000-square-foot store is located at 6209B HWY 191 SR WB and will feature customer conveniences like self-pickup and Amazon Returns.
The store will also include a Sephora and highlight popular categories such as home, dresses, gifting, and footwear. It will also feature big-name brands such as Nike, Under Armour, Adidas, Sonoma Goods for Life, LC by Lauren Conrad, Simply Vera by Vera Wang, Nine West, and more.
The Odessa location will mark the 90th Kohl's location in Texas and the 2nd location in the Permian Basin.
The new location comes just two months after the retail chain announced their plans to close 27 stores nationwide, including one in Dallas, by April.

1 Volatile Stock for Long-Term Investors and 2 Facing Challenges
Volatility cuts both ways - while it creates opportunities, it also increases risk, making sharp declines just as likely as big gains. This unpredictability can shake out even the most experienced investors. These stocks can be a rollercoaster, and StockStory is here to guide you through the ups and downs. Keeping that in mind, here is one volatile stock that could reward patient investors and two that might not be worth the risk. Two Stocks to Sell: Roku (ROKU) Rolling One-Year Beta: 2.46 Spun out from Netflix, Roku (NASDAQ: ROKU) makes hardware players that offer access to various online streaming TV services. Why Are We Cautious About ROKU? Decision to emphasize platform growth over monetization has contributed to sluggish trends in its average revenue per user Gross margin of 44.5% reflects its high servicing costs Issuance of new shares over the last three years caused its earnings per share growth of 6.5% to lag its revenue gains Roku's stock price of $80 implies a valuation ratio of 28.2x forward EV/EBITDA. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why ROKU doesn't pass our bar. Kohl's (KSS) Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.30 Founded as a corner grocery store in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Kohl's (NYSE:KSS) is a department store chain that sells clothing, cosmetics, electronics, and home goods. Why Should You Dump KSS? Weak same-store sales trends over the past two years suggest there may be few opportunities in its core markets to open new locations Projected sales decline of 5.2% over the next 12 months indicates demand will continue deteriorating High net-debt-to-EBITDA ratio of 6× could force the company to raise capital at unfavorable terms if market conditions deteriorate Kohl's is trading at $10.75 per share, or 40.9x forward P/E. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than KSS. One Stock to Watch: Stock Yards Bank (SYBT) Rolling One-Year Beta: 1.16 Founded in 1904 in Louisville and named after the city's historic livestock market district, Stock Yards Bancorp (NASDAQ:SYBT) operates a regional bank providing commercial banking, wealth management, and trust services across Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio. Why Is SYBT on Our Radar? Market share has increased this cycle as its 16.9% annual net interest income growth over the last five years was exceptional Incremental sales over the last two years have been highly profitable as its earnings per share increased by 6.7% annually, topping its revenue gains Capital strength is on track to rise over the next 12 months as its 23.5% projected tangible book value per share growth implies profitability will accelerate from its two-year trend At $73.58 per share, Stock Yards Bank trades at 2.1x forward P/B.

Meme stocks are melting as investors look towards Big Tech
The meme stock FOMO is taking a breather. According to a new report from Vanda Research, investor appetite for meme stocks like Kohl's (KSS), Krispy Kreme (DNUT), and GoPro (GPRO) has dropped sharply as traders shift their attention to Big Tech earnings and broader market drivers. 'Just like that, the meme stock frenzy of July 2025 has seemingly fizzled out,' Vanda's Marco Iachini wrote. Across a basket of popular meme names, average daily turnover plunged as much as 90% in recent weeks. The lone exception is the fintech SoFi (SOFI), which saw a recent jump in trading tied to its common stock offering. The cool-down in retail-driven trades comes as major companies like Meta (META), Microsoft (MSFT), and Apple (APPL) deliver earnings that could set the tone for the broader market. Thus far, Meta and Microsoft have reported robust quarterly earnings, powered in part by their AI efforts. 'It's not surprising to see retail activity take a breather,' Iachini noted. With Big Tech earnings underway and a Federal Reserve meeting now in the rearview mirror, retail investors are reallocating toward more established players rather than high-risk names. While meme stock flows made headlines, they didn't ignite the kind of broad-based retail frenzy seen during the GME episode in 2021, he added. Over the past month, Kohl's is down 88%, while Krispy Kreme has shed roughly 84%. Other one-time favorites like Opendoor Technologies (OPEN) and SharpLink Gaming (SBET) have also lost steam. Meanwhile, institutional investors are playing a bigger role in driving the marker. Since April, the rally has largely been fueled by retail and systematic flows. But for stocks to keep climbing through the second half of the year, "discretionally institutional investors may need to play a larger role,' per Iachini. Still, retail traders haven't disappeared — they've just become more selective. Shares of Kohl's spiked 2,589% in trading volume the week of July 21, after it became the target of a meme-stock trading frenzy fueled by users on Reddit's WallStreetBets. Krispy Kreme saw an even steeper 4,371% surge during that period, powered by similar circumstances, despite weak first quarterly earnings results and ending a partnership with McDonald's (MCD). GoPro (GPRO), which has emerged as a favorite among speculative traders, didn't miss out on the action. Its trading volume ballooned 2,727% that same week. But the recent meme stock pop hasn't come close to its 2021 peak. This brief shift towards riskier assets, sparked by hopes for rate cuts, easing inflation, and a soft landing, now appears to be under reconsideration. 'Speculative trading tends to resurface when bullish momentum in risk assets stretches over multiple months,' Iachini wrote. 'But behavior may lean more opportunistic than momentum-driven in the days ahead.' Francisco Velasquez is a Reporter at Yahoo Finance.

How to turn Reddit hype into real dollars, as meme-stock mania returns to markets
Can being a meme stock actually help a company, or is it just good vibes? Four years after retail investors coordinated on Reddit's Wall Street Bets forum to save GameStop from short sellers, they've been piling into shares of Opendoor, Kohl's, Wendy's, American Eagle Outfitters, and other embattled companies in recent days. Good vibes and social-media buzz might seem like hot air, but two senior investors told Business Insider how savvy managers can turn the attention into cold, hard cash. Cashing in Opendoor has gained 239% in the past month, while Kohl's and GoPro have jumped 58% and 127% in the past three months without traditional catalysts like bullish outlooks or strong earnings. Stock gains of that scale can be transformative. GameStop has sold shares to capitalize on its elevated price, boosting its cash pile and magnifying the benefits of higher interest rates. But its brick-and-mortar business, which is what originally attracted short sellers, remains under pressure. The video-games retailer's net sales plunged 27% to $3.8 billion last fiscal year as it shut nearly a quarter of its roughly 4,200 stores. However, an increase in net interest income from $50 million to $163 million meant the company earned $131 million in net income, up from only $7 million in fiscal 2023. Capitalizing can pay off, but it carries risks Mark Malek, Siebert Financial's chief investor, told BI that companies can be wary of issuing stock as it dilutes not just the ownership and voting power of existing shareholders, but also the company's earnings per share, which can raise a stock's price-to-earnings ratio. "A higher P/E can make a stock appear expensive, potentially deterring new investors — or worse, attracting short sellers," Malek said. But when a company becomes a meme stock, a higher P/E ratio might not deter buyers, Malek said. "For a corporate treasurer, this is a dream scenario," he said, adding that "issuing stock into that kind of froth can fund operations, pay down liabilities, or shore up balance sheets." While meme-driven gains are often temporary, "selling into strength isn't just smart, it's prudent," Malek said. A financial lifeline Meme-stock status can provide a "financial lifeline" for older or troubled companies as it's a "rare arbitrage window between market perception and operational reality," Naeem Aslam, chief investor at Zaye Capital Limited, told BI. Aslam said that companies can use their trendy shares as an overvalued currency to raise cheap capital, but whether that pays off depends on how management spends and invests the fresh cash. Bosses can use the proceeds to not only cover costs and pay off debts, but also fund technology investments and restructuring initiatives that can help revitalize their operations, he said. However, Aslam added that, without a viable turnaround plan, issuing shares can alienate core investors and contribute to the market perceiving the stock as a speculative play. Not every meme stock has been able to ride the Reddit wave to greener pastures. "Firms like Tupperware and BlackBerry saw brief meme-fueled rallies but failed to translate them into lasting recovery due to structural headwinds," Aslam said.
