When was the last time JC Penney was even relevant?

When was the last time JC Penney was even relevant?

When he (James Cash Penney) himself taught Sam Walton how to wrap and tie up a package for customers (to scrimp the most). ...according to Sam Walton's biography.

There actually aren't a whole lot of reasonably priced stores for professional men's clothing anymore. I found that their selection and pricing of men's sports jackets was okay.

That’s a good question right there.

I’m 62. I remember back in the 60s, early 70s every year I would go to JC Penney with Mom to get my clothes for the upcoming school year.

I think the last time I did any real shopping in JC Penney was right before I got out of the Army in 1984 and I needed a couple of business suits.

Hard to remember that JC Penney and Sears were once the go-to retailers for the great American middle class.

That was before the left-wing elite set out to destroy the middle class.

I bought all of my cargo shorts, socks, underwear there and some casual shirts. Not anywhere else around here that had what I could wear and was as cheap. They always had items with big discounts.

I don't like to buy clothes online because I can't try them on. If they don't fit after you get them, then you have the hassle of sending them back. I'm old school. I'd rather try the clothes on in the store and then buy them so I know they'll fit.

I don't know whether the local store in the city will make the cut for reorganization or not. I live out of town on a farm and don't go to town much. But they always had deals on clothes.
