REUTERS: Department store operator Kohl's Corp reported better-than-expected quarterly profit and revenue on Tuesday and said it expects to benefit from newer partnerships and the expansion of its Amazon returns program in the second half of the year.

The retailer has also teamed up with millennial-focused Popsugar to launch a new line of clothes and announced last week it would sell a selection of emerging brands online and in more than 50 stores, with Facebook helping it to identify trendy brands. However, the company said that its comparable sales turned positive during the last six weeks of the second quarter with 1per cent growth."This positive trend has continued into August driven by a successful start to the back-to-school season. We are confident that our upcoming brand launches, program expansions, and increased traffic from the Amazon returns program will incrementally contribute to our performance," Chief Executive Officer Michelle Gass said.
