Pfffttttt! Our nearby JC Penny’s fulfilment center is seeking seasonal ‘team members’. Thriving upward bound comp........they’re what? Closing brick and mortar stores and on shakey ground? Lucky there’s an Amazon warehouse even closer. Which would fit bobby-frankee’s new “right” to live close to work .
Your JC Penny’s comment made me think of the fact that Sears and JC Penny SHOULD have been Amazon. They had the local stores and warehouses all over the country. How much of an infrastructure advantage did they have? Sears STARTED as a mail order company. Move their wishbook online, promise 2-3 day delivery, and they could have been Amazon.
