SAN FRANCISCO, CA—In a genius move to deter looters, a local Target store has disguised itself as a JCPenney.
"We got tired of getting completely ransacked every time something happened in the news, so we decided to do something about it," said Store Manager Andy Boreschnoz. "To our knowledge, no one has ever shown interest in looting anything from a JCPenney, so we put up this very convincing banner."
Executives from JCPenney disputed the claim, insisting that everyone loves their products. "Looters come from all around the world to loot our quality merchandise," said JCPenney's CEO Marc Rosen. "Please looters! Come check out our stuff! You'll love it, we promise! PLEASE!"

Barnes and Noble
Stores should disguise themselves as bookstores or employment centers.
“Special on work boots!” Nope, no takers.
Mgr. Boreschnoz
LOL !
Go BEE!! Ya got me!!
Just put the valuable stuff in a Barnes and Noble.
Oh Babee!!
“Andy Boreschnoz”
Lol!
“Special on work boots!”
My cousin who lived just outside Atlanta told me a joke once about all the blacks that were moving out of apartments there because they were tired of getting woken up in the morning when the Mexicans were going to work. 🤭
Ha!
Indeed, BabyBee scores again!
However, it is sad about JCP. It was always a good, reliable store in the Olde days.
I haven’t been in either a JCP or Target in 20 years.
Best laugh I have had in a week, and with everything happening in the world and in my family I definitely needed it.
L.O.L.
I got a lot of clothes in HS at JC Penny. It was a good department store.
Anyone remember Ivey’s? It was a regional SE chain that was a major competitor of Pennys. They were the two anchor stores at the Winter Park Mall (FL). The Winter park Mall was one of the original malls in the SE. Opened in 1965 when we moved to Florida.
Malls have been a big part of American culture for a long time. IMO it’s a shame to see how things have evolved. But even without the internet and online shopping liberal crime has doomed them.
Lol.
The mall in Lynchburg, Virginia was on the verge is closing it’s doors for good until the Falwell family got involved with it. They rented a lot of space for Liberty University off campus classrooms while two buildings were being built.
Once the classrooms moved out Jerry Falwell Jr (yes, the Falwell that had to resign as LU president) put together some money people and bought the mall entirely. They’ve added restaurants, Dicks Sporting Goods moved there, they have a huge aquarium, plus the stores that were already there.
Judging by the traffic in and out of the place it seems to be doing good.
Time will tell but Jerry Jr does know how to make money.
It’s Black Friday which means, in San Francisco, New York and other inner cities, black people get to take whatever they want from stores for absolutely FREE! It’s, um, reparations.
Hi
Some malls remain very viable. One large city we know only has one mall so it is full of customers. Another smaller city is very rich and it’s big mall is similarly packed with customers for its very upscale shops.
A third mall, also in a smaller city, had three anchors. Sears Is empty. Penney’s is limping along but with very few customers, alas. The local large department store was bought by a national department store and then closed. Later sold to target — which whether one liked it or not isn’t a good match as an anchor store in a mall. It gets fine customers but they don’t shop any other stores.
So the entire mall is about to be razed and replaced by 1100 apartments (which almost nobody in town wants).
There are retail stores that could make it big time on the site, stores that are not in the area and which many many people would like —- but … it’s gonna become a huge apartment project instead.
Malls and retail shops can be viable. Sears was a textbook case of BBM (bankruptcy by management😎)
JC Penney published a “Two Mommies” catalog—and at that point it was all over but the final crash and burn....
