So why is Kohl's so popular?
The mid-market department store offers deep discounts on national clothing brands such as Nike, Vera Wang and Izod.
The thrill of finding good deals keeps bargain hunters coming back for more, according to Pam Goodfellow, an analyst for Prosper Insights & Analytics.
That has hurt competitors such as Wal-Mart, which offers low prices every day.

"That's a potential $7 billion walking out of Walmart's doors and into the open arms of Kohl's," Goodfellow writes on Forbes.
Kohl's reported a profit of $369 million, or $1.83 a share, in the most recent quarter ending Jan. 31, while revenue climbed 3.9%, to $6.34 billion.
The company's shares have risen more than 33% over the last year. By comparison, Macy's and Wal-Mart shares have grown by 6% and 10%, respectively, while Sears and JC Penney's shares have fallen by more than 14%.
