It appears Kohl's is expecting a busier holiday shopping season this year.

About 52,7000 employees will be added to stores and distribution centers nationwide.

Hiring is already underway and is expected to be complete by mid-November.

The Business Journal writes roughly 800 seasonal workers will be hired at the 19 stores in the Twin Cities metro.
