And I hope they follow through on this quote: "Kohl's and the Galaxy will team up to create a variety of fan-based promotions and community events that will engage youth soccer families throughout the season."
god damn it! finding a decent place to get soccer gear in Boston is impossiable. awesome news for the Galaxy and MLS
Makes you wonder if Herb Kohl was ever involved in the Milwaukee expansion talks, but he is trying to sell the Bucks. Hopefully, Kohl's can become an official MLS sponsor in the near future.
Awesome news. Some tidbits: "As the "Official Department Store of the Los Angeles Galaxy," Kohl's will extend the excitement of Major League Soccer into the communities where its shoppers live and work." "Kohl's will open 28 stores in Southern California on March 7." --Lots of two-way pub for Kohl's & the Galaxy. Kohl's has been the "Official Department Store of U.S. Youth Soccer," the country's largest grassroots youth sports organization, since February of 2002, and has been involved in local market youth soccer activities for several years. "Kohl's will be a major sponsor of the Galaxy's youth soccer camps and an official sponsor of several California Youth Soccer Association South events, including the State Cup and Tide American Cup, two popular tournaments held in the spring and summer, respectively." --Great news. This is the kind of grass-roots developments that helps build real community support & fans for life. "Kohl's also will become title sponsor of the Galaxy Shuttle, a 12x20-foot team promotional vehicle, which will bring interactive soccer drills and games to fans at events throughout Southern California. The Galaxy Shuttle will make appearances during the season at community events and festivals, local soccer tournaments and pre-game festivities." --Cool.
I've noticed that Kohl's have been popping up around So. Cal. in the last 12 months. I would assume that they are making a westward expansion of their chain. There will be one opening locally in the near future. Hopefully I will be able to purchase the new Galaxy Franja kit there.
Kohl's expect to open store this April 1st after 7 months construction at Fallbrook Center aka Fallbrook Mall in West Hills-Canoga Park-Woodland Hills, CA area.
if i find you in new jersey i will buy you and burn you.... as in destroy you in a game World Tour Soccer 2002.
Kohl's is a really nice, inexpensive department store. I think all of you in SoCal will really like the stores. Let's hope that the good Senator does the same in other MLS markets.
Tim, Actually, Herb Kohl no longer is connected with the Kohl's Dept store chain. Stolen from CNN: "Though Kohl, 67, and his family sold their interest in the home-grown retail chain 23 years ago, it netted him enough of a personal fortune to fuel his passion for sports and helped fund a successful campaign for the U.S. Senate in 1988."
Does this mean that the'll sell galaxy stuff all over the country or jut in so cal? Because i live in Ark. but used t live in LA so im a big galaxy fan and i want to know if the galaxy stuff will be here
