NEW YORK — Kohl’s department store chain said Tuesday that it will accept Amazon returns at all its 1,150 stores starting in July, expanding its nearly two-year test of the service from 100 stores.

Kohl’s sees the partnership with Amazon as a way to get people in its doors and maybe get them to buy something while they’re there. As for Amazon, it makes returns easier for its shoppers, who can drop off items without needing to pack up a box.

It may seem like an unusual tie-up, but more physical retailers have been working with Amazon in the hopes they can reach the online shopping giant’s millions of shoppers.
