Ok. I’m fine with that.

[Veggie Todd]

That’s a shame.

I can remember when I could buy surplus FN model 1949 semi auto rifles at JCPenney. Also their Penncraft tools had the same warranty as Craftsman and were of similar quality.

The last time I was in one, I would say 80% of the store was devoted to ladies clothes.

Just another useless brick & mortar store selling a bunch of crap. Sure they might have had improved over last year.... Improved from what? lol (they’ve sucked for years)

Wasn’t JC Penney the one that really tried to cater to the homosexual crowd?

I have gone in, can’t find a register and it takes 15 minutes waiting in line to make a single purchase, and that is before you get to the register which takes another few minutes to pay. The item is scanned, the security tag is removed, the cashier asks if you want a J.C. Penny credit card, then you pay. Something went wrong somewhere down the line. It was a lot easier and faster long ago. I will not miss them. Sorry, J. C. and company, you screwed up good thing you once did so well.

JC Penney. Isn’t that where I used to get auto parts via catalog?

[Omniscient Certitude]

Soon, Sears, Kmart, and Big Lots will be closing stores frantically. I heard today that an upscale young women’s chain is closing many stores as well.

When 50% of the cash economy revolves around EBT cards then it is a race to the bottom for the lower 80 percenters.

[Morgana]

Oh gee I do wonder why?

[Jack Hydrazine]

Sears, JC Penny, and Radio Shack are all past their prime.

"Oddly, the company just reported sales growth in the holiday period vs. the previous year,..."

That's how companies get revenues during this recovery--from investors! It's been an increasingly magic economy for nearly 40 years. It's how the "makers" work!

[Stack of stinking irony there.]

[tioga]

I hate their remade stores. Don’t even go in the door any more.

[Dr. Thorne]

The unavoidable conclusion when a company goes pervert.

[Palio di Siena]

jc penny let their pink flag fly.
kinda backfired.
o well.

[Buckeye McFrog]

They never recovered from the attempt by their former CEO to make them the Gayest Store in America.
