You Freepers need to realize that their sales and stock price may have tanked and they are perilously close to bankruptcy after they embraced two moms and two dads for Mother's Day and Father's Day in 2012 ... but at least they were tolerant and inclusive ... and that is good!

The idiot CEO is gone.

Restructuring is occurring. Stock should start moving up based on this news.

It’s going to take JCP a few years to recover from this fiasco. Hopefully, other companies will learn the lesson that we don’t want this non-sense pushed on us.

Actual, their problems began before they pandered to the homosexuals. Remember their ridiculous pricing scheme?

JC Penney is the Kmart of high-end department stores.

Seeing how it’s early January, is this part of the 2013 recovery summer or the 2014 recovery summer? We need this cleared up....

Only one closure on the West Coast, at Arrow Mall in Rancho Cucamonga.

Maybe they’re going to consolidate operations in CA, OR, and WA and ultimately become a West Coast regional chain of stores.

Homos are everywhere. I don’t worry about em because I don’t go looking for em. What bothers me 95% more are the 2000 people losing their jobs.

When you target 2% of the population, you shouldn’t be surprised if your sales drop.

h they built the ship Titanic to sail the ocean blue;
And they thought they had a ship that the water would not go through;
But the Lord’s Almighty Hand said that ship would never land.
It was sad when the great ship went down...

(Chorus)
It was sad, SO SAD!
It was sad, TOO BAD!
It was sad when the great ship went down
To the bottom of the seeeeaaaaaa
(Husbands and wives, little children lost their lives!)
It was sad when the great ship went down

It’s not a good idea to alienate 30% of your market to please 2% of your market. Moronic - why even dip into that (gay) issue at all? But, to tell the truth, I never heard of that controversy until now, and most of my recent clothes purchases have been at JCP or Fred Meyer. For men, I think they have pretty decent stuff, not the frumpy stuff that they seem to prefer for women.

Singing River Mall in Gautier Mississippi is virtually empty of stores. The company operating the nearby shipyard has taken over about half the mall for office space beyond Penny's and I think Sears, the two anchor stores, nothing else much is open other than a Chikfilet.

Natchez Mall Penny's is a small store in a small but very pleasant older mall.

Yeah, those ads are disgusting.

I still shop JCP because they are the only store carrying clothes that actually FIT ME without alterations. I’m happy to see they are not closing stores in my area. Also, I’ve never had a rude salesperson there, glad the workers are not getting laid off. Economy is tough enough here.

I wonder how Cheerios is doing without my support? The Publix “cheerios” are actually much better, and cheaper, and morally acceptable. (Wondering what a morally acceptable Cheerios is)

They are closing the store near us in Phillipsburg N.J. We don’t go there but we do go to other stores in the mall. I hate to see the loss of jobs. Our County (Warren) is having a tough time in this winter of recovery and this will not help. The P Burg mall will lose an anchor store and probably close. That is not good for our County as most people will go across the Delaware River to Pa.

Well, my JCP in Gulfview Square Mall is closing. I could see it coming a long time ago. The store has been completely devoid of customers, salespeeples and checkout stations for the past year.

Play the enemy's own game....put the blame four-square on the perp, i.e., IT'S THE ECONOMY, STUPID DEMS......THANK YOU, OBAMIE THE COMMIE!

The faggots don’t care that their militancy is a big part of killing JCP. It’s just collateral damage in their war on morality and the family.

Maybe a Federal Judge can issue a decree that all faggots in the USA must shop at J.C. Penney or be imprisoned.

That ought to boost sales.

Penny’s management got what they asked for when they decided to pander to 1% of the population.

What possessed them to become a vehicle for promotion of sexual deviancy instead of doing their jobs of managing a profit making business?

They were the guardians of money invested by many thousands of stockholders but they placed their liberal agenda before the interests of their stockholders.

It’s too bad so many people have lost money and jobs because of their arrogance.

JCP had a bit of a bounce 3rd qtr. 2011. Downhill since 1st qtr. 2012. Advertising with same sex couples had no bearing at all. Those are just the facts.
