LENOX, Mass. — Kohl's department store is opening one of its new small format stores on Nov. 4 in The Center at Lenox shopping mall, located at 489 Pittsfield Rd.
"We are excited to bring Kohl's to this community. I think this community really needs something like this," said an employee no authorized to speak on record. "...I used to work at the [Lee] Outlets and everyone is always looking for something."
The store held a soft opening Sunday, Oct. 30. They have planned a ribbon cutting on Friday, Nov. 4.
The national retailer plans to open 100 new small-format stores over the next four years. The average footprint of a Kohl's is around 80,000 square feet but this size is too large for many small markets, their overarching real estate strategy said.
The small format stores are approximately 35,000 square feet and aim to provide a "hyper-localized experience to cater to the community's needs.
"With the loss of the Berkshire Mall and some stores leaving the Outlets, I think that Kohl's is going to impact the community a lot," she said.
These new stores will feature national brands, private brands, and products from diverse and female-owned companies.

State Closes Brookside Road Bridge
GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass.— Brookside Road bridge was closed today following a routine inspection by the MA Department of Transportation.
Town Public Works Superintendent Joe Aberdale said the DOT inspection report now requires further state review and that there is no information yet on a timeline for reopening. Brookside Road is located south of town and runs east to Brush Hill Road and Boardman Street.
Aberdale said load limits on the older, trestle bridge have been disregarded for some years by heavy vehicles. He said that usage has likely taken a toll on the span over the Housatonic River.
Southbound drivers heading to Brush Hill and the north end of Boardman Street will need to travel further south on Route 7 to Kellogg Road and then onto Boardman Street, heading north.
"We will keep residents informed as we learn more from the state DOT," said Aberdale.
