Now every homo is featured on every commercial, kissing. It’s disgusting. American Family Association used to tell us to call the advertisers about offensive (to us benighted conservatives) PROGRAMS. What do you do when the ADS are offensive?
In Dover, DE there is fantastic Boscov’s Dept. Store. Long may it thrive.
Not really. All things go in fads. People obsess on one approach, then find out it’s not all that and settle down a bit. If we had a bit of everything, that would be ideal situation. Because it DEPENDS on what you want here and now.
As for Macy’s, I’m sick of them buying up everything. They are everywhere. Shouldn’t those vaunted anti-trust rules be coming into play? And Wal-Mart and Target are at best, bottom-level department stores, merely the heirs of K-Mart. I still have a problem calling them “department stores”.
We liked Boscov’s, but it expanded too quickly in MD and now we have to go to the outer towns to get to one.
Sears once had a distribution chain that could deliver to any town in the entire country. Had they put their catalog online early and focused on that, they would be where Amazon is today.
They focused on competing with every other peddler of cheep Chinese crap in a mall and now they’re hosed.
Yes. They were one of the first. They were dead to me after that.
Get woke. Go broke. They saw the error of their ways, but too late, the damage had been done.
I take no joy in people losing their jobs. But if some of those people are the ones who pushed that agenda, well, they reaped what they sowed.
I’ve been to a few Boscov stores, but somehow the one in Dover is special.
Same with LL Bean. Their men’s clothing is overpriced for what it is: flimsy. $50 for a short sleeve sport shirt made in Vietnam. America could produce and market a better quality shirt and sell to the public for less money.
I went to a Petvalue yesterday ,they made me stand by the door in a 4 foot by 4 foot taped off area and I had to tell them what I wanted(we can’t let you in the 2 employees said) I wanted and when they put the food on the counter I pulled out my cash and they said we don’t take cash ,I said thanks and left . Why are they even open ?
I think JC Penny went gay, so no surprise with that one.
Like most large apparel companies, they have had to move production to the cheapest possible places - from Bangladesh to Ethiopia - to cover the staggeringly high major mall rents. Higher quality just sells too slowly.
The MOOCH wore J. Crew and looked HORRIBLE in their clothes!
Sears, Penny’s only 2 around, I’m not attempting a 2 h round trip to stores with no electric carts. I can barely walk now. Nothing I need. That is 1 problem a near 72 yr old woman or man has it all. Common complaint of ou kids, you have what you need, what do we get you. Try a family dinner out. Suggest Steak.
I’m sure poor management decisions, slowness to adapt to changing business models and virtue signaling had nothing to do with their demise.
Yeah...that’s what I thought!
Sears was a partner in Prodigy, which was an early rival to AOL and Amazon. For some reason they sold off their interests in it.
“”Sears and JC Penney are still in business? That’s the bit that’s news to me.””
I was going to say they closed up their stores here in a mall near us about 3-4 years ago. But they may still have stores up the interstate in a different mall. They were in a mall I could get to easily only about 10 minutes away. Very little in that mall remains open but that was LONG before the virus scare!
Yes mall gang violence killed them.
