The last day of employment for these workers is set for September 12.
The notice states, "It is possible that one or more employees will remain actively employed for a limited time after the facility is closed to assist with administrative tasks related to its closure."
All employees have already been informed about the permanent closure of the facility, Kohl's said.
This announcement comes months after the closure of two Tri-State Kohl's locations, part of the company's strategy to shutter nearly 30 "underperforming" stores across the United States.
The affected stores in the Tri-State area include the Blue Ash store on Hunt Road and the Forest Park store on Cincinnati Mills Drive.
