That economy is booming I tell ya!/s

Whats the problem, you turn off your customer base with your homo ads?

[Dilbert San Diego]

Wasn’t JC Penney targeted by some conservatives, because they were pushing homosexuality in ads, or somehow pushing the gay agenda?

Happy days are here again! Let the good times roll.

[Norm Lenhart]

HOMOPHOBES!!

I demand they keep those stores open. They..oh wait...

[iowamark]

[12th_Monkey]

Perhaps you drove away your base customers with your support of homosexuality???

“...has struggled to turn a profit since former CEO Ron Johnson was fired in April”.

It’s hard to recover from the Ron Johnson catastrophe.

Kind of like, what has Obama/Reid/Pelosi done to America that it will be hard to recover from??

Ya know?

These malls will be converted into Section 8 housing.

Dept. stores suffer from the ongoing Baraqqi Depression and tough online competitors.

[Red Badger]

Looks like most of the closures are in BLUE STATES................

[ZULU]

Another triumph for Obamanomics and the criminal in the Oval Office.

The reality of customer demographics in action.

I haven’t seen their ads, but I have heard about them here. And I don’t like them. But can I say, I shop a lot at JC Penney. I like their clothes, they fit me (hallelujah!)and their prices are good. I am also nostalgic for those big box stores of my youth, Sears, Wards, K-Mart, Gemco, Zody’s and Wigwam (Hawaii). If I could I would have shopped at Goldwater and Sons in Phoenix and Diamonds here in Tucson.

My store is usually packed, especially with young families buying school clothes. I am kind of afraid to check if mine is getting the axe.

Predictable. Target a narrow 3% of the population, many of whom would never enter your store and watch the other 97% feel taken for granted.

Also one of the implementations was to go to "everyday value" instead of sale prices. Once customers knew they could buy things they wanted when they really needed them, there was no impelling force to "buy today" or to even make the journey to the store and possible find some unrelated item.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Penney’s, Wards, Sears, and Woolworth used to have small stores in small cities. Now they are very hard to find.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Christmas sales were a disaster because of the Obamacare dividend.

[MissMagnolia]

The "D" word rears it's ugly head, but those of us not in the DC bubble have known there wasn't much of a "recovery" going on and that the unemployment numbers being reported by the Obamabot media are bogus.

Economic Expert Hunter Lewis: We Are in a Depression!

[Obadiah]

I skewered JC Penney when they went off the rails and got all homocentric, but to their credit Penneys got rid of Johnson and changed course. We have gone back to occasional shopping at Penneys.

I think this is directly related to the economy. They are closing four stores in WI and most of the locations they closing are in WI are in economically tenuous communities.

If anything, merchants such as K-Mart, with their Jingle Balls Christmas ad, ought to go down the flusher. That ad was offensive.

[deport]

Looks like Wisconsin took a hit with five of the stores being closed.

[SeminoleCounty]

The high cost of confusing colons with reproductive organs...

[stanne]

How’s that gay promo working out?
