Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony Lines At Kohl's Are Now In Question
Probably not the first thing you were thinking of when you saw this in the tabloids....
Dow Jones Newswires
Big plans by Kohl's Corp. to roll out lines by Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony are in question now that the couple has announced they are divorcing.
The broad range of merchandise by Lopez for women and Anthony for men was called Kohl's biggest ever by Chief Executive Kevin Mansell in an interview with Dow Jones Newswires earlier this year.
The company gave a fall timeframe to begin the rollout. Kohl's and other department store chains are in a heated battle for market share. The merchandise is seen as a way for the midpriced department store to reach a younger, hipper customer.
Questions about the line arose Saturday as news circulated that Lopez and Anthony were ending their marriage after seven years. Spokespeople from Kohl's didn't respond to requests for comment. Mansell will likely discuss the matter when the company issues second-quarter results next month.
