Still. Gay-friendly doesn’t seem to hurt Home Depot or Target business.
Maybe it is simply a changing paradigm for department stores.
With so many competitors all advertising beating depart store prices, and younger people seemed to find stuff more from their smart phones/tablets, tradition retail businesses hurting all over, not just jcp.
” Gay-friendly doesn’t seem to hurt Home Depot or Target business.”
Do Home Depot or Target run ads with children and their homosexual “parent” couples?
Agree with your post.
JCP is looked upon as your grandmother’s dept store.
They’re going the same way as Mercury, Oldsmobile, and Plymouth.
The difference is that the people that might not go to Target (some) wouldn’t be caught dead in Wal-mart or K-mart. JCP is directly in competition with Macy’s, Kohl’s and Sears - so there are easy (and very comparable) choices.
I still shop at Target despite my misgivings. I think it is because the stores are cleaner than WalMart, and I buy things like toilet paper and paper towels there. If you had ever shopped at the big WalMart closest to us, you would never go there again. As for JCP, hubby and I went to one last week because I wanted something that they used to sell. It was not a good experience. The store was disorganized. There were not enough workers. It was a mess. And that is sad. The same was true of our visit to Sears.
I was not real impressed with Target’s Christmas decor. They made rainbows out of their Chistmas tree decorations. Whoever is running their marketing schemes is a militant homosexual.
Honestly, for me it was the gay promotion by the store. Plus their ads turned gawsh-awful. But mostly the former reason.
