The clothing retailer said the termination came after an investigation into an undisclosed conflict of interest in vendor transactions.

An investigation found that Ashley Buchanan violated the retailer’s code of conduct by entering into a ‘highly unusual’ business deal involving Chandra Holt, the former CEO of Bed Bath & Beyond.

Kohl's said on Thursday it had fired CEO Ashley Buchanan after an investigation found he had pushed for deals with a vendor with whom he had a personal relationship, after little more than 100 days in the CEO job.
