Kohl’s Creve Coeur: A Gateway to Savings

The city of Creve Coeur, located 20 miles west of the Gateway Arch in St. Louis, MO, takes its name from nearby Creve Coeur Lake. Creve Coeur is French for “heartbreak,” and corresponds to the broken heart shape of the lake. French fur traders and farmers began exploring the area as far back as the early 18th century, when Missouri was still part of the French-controlled Louisiana Territory. Eventually, when the United States took possession of the territory, the Louis and Clark Expedition travelled through Creve Coeur on their way to explore the newly purchased lands.

These days you can still see two of the early settlers’ cabins, the Clester Cabin and the Hackmann Log Cabin, preserved and intact at Conway Park. The city itself, however, looks just a little bit different. Creve Coeur as we know it today owes much of its livelihood and success to the construction of Interstate 270 and Missouri Route 340, also known as Olive Boulevard. This main crossroad drove much of the city’s growth in the 1950s, and is just steps away from the Creve Coeur Kohl’s location in the Creve Coeur Shopping Center at 955 Woodcrest Executive Drive.

Modern Creve Coeur is a hub for the tech, life and bioscience fields, boasting such organizations as the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center. It’s also headquarters of businesses like Drury Hotels, and home to two universities: Missouri Baptist University and Covenant Theological Seminary. While we here at Kohl’s take special pride in serving the Creve Coeur community, we’re also easily accessible from the nearby locales of Maryland Heights, Westwood, Olivette and Ladue.
