MENOMONEE FALLS, Wis.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dec. 13, 2012--
Kohl’s
Department Stores (NYSE: KSS) announced that the Dream Receipts
campaign has gifted a dream shopping experience to nearly 23,000 Kohl’s

Iowa Optimists Have Even More to Celebrate – A local community
club made it their mission to help kids in need have a merrier
Christmas each year by providing them with toys and needed goods. The
club scooped up more than 30 pairs of children’s boots to distribute
at this year’s party during a shopping trip to the Kohl’s in West
Burlington. After ringing up their purchase at more than $1,000, they
were shocked to learn that they were the Dream Receipts winner for the
day and Kohl’s would be giving them their purchases for free. Because
of their Dream Receipt, the club will be able to invite even more
children to the annual Christmas party.

free. Overcome with joy, she broke down into tears.

San Diego Family’s Generosity Comes Full Circle – A local
family has made it their mission to support an orphanage for girls in
Tecate, Mexico this holiday season. They headed to Kohl’s College
Grove store in San Diego and loaded their carts with toys, baby dolls,
warm clothes and blankets, hoping to spread some Christmas cheer to
the girls at the orphanage. The family rang up nearly $150 in
purchases and was told on the way out of the store that they won a
Dream Receipt and that Kohl’s would be picking up their entire tab.
They were overwhelmed by the news and returned to the store to
purchase additional warm blankets and throws to take to the orphanage
when they deliver the items in person.

scrapes together thousands of dollars to buy presents to help bring
joy to the elderly residents. The staff took the more than $2,000 they
raised to their local Kohl’s store, armed with coupons and ready to
take advantage of Kohl’s senior discount. After filling up two
shopping carts and checking out, they were informed that they had won
a Dream Receipt and Kohl’s would pick up the tab for their purchase.
The employees were thrilled and said the money they saved will help
the residents and staff have an even happier party this year.

A Little Help for Santa – A Kohl’s shopper and her
five-year-old son were shopping in Highland Heights, Ohio when she was
announced as her store’s Dream Receipts winner. The son was so
excited, he exclaimed, “Mom! I can get that remote-control car now!”
and took off toward the toy aisle. The mom told her son, “You have to
wait to see what Santa brings you.” Because Kohl’s had paid for her
earlier purchases, she was able to return to the store later that
today to purchase the car and a few other toys her son had been eyeing.
