Best place to buy men’s dress shirts
Good quality for a reasonable price

Still one on Davis Highway in Pensacola, near Academy Sports.

what a shame JCP is going down

it was always a reliable store with good merchandise and customer service

(it did get some leftward management which chased many long-standing customers away ... and in the same recent years JCP was stocking some clearly lower-quality items...I’d chalk this one up to DBM - Death by Mismanagement.)

They tore down the one here a long time ago. They’re in the process of tearing the whole mall down, but for some reason a few stores are still open. I worked Public Safety there for a while, didn’t last very long because the place is a mess.

I sold shoes at JC Penney’s in my teens.

Mom bought me my first bra at JCP, Wichita Falls, TX, summer 1967. I had just turned 11.

For arguments sake let us assume their is a civilization a few light years away in another star system of our galaxy with a civilization an equal of ours today. Also assume we at this point have conquered faster than light speed in spaceships. What would we do? Study them without contact. Study them and then contact. Decide they are a menace and eliminate them.

This assumes they have the same cognitive ability and morality of us. Perhaps neither does.

I still have several power tools that I bought there 50 years ago.
Still work. And they've had plenty of use.

Check out their catalog. You can't tell who is male or female with their models - and they have many many in the women's clothing section.

It is and will be their downfall.

Years ago JCP was one of the few places I could buy reasonably priced shirts in tall sizes. Then they hired an alphabet person to run the company - prices went up, and all they stocked was stuff they couldn’t give me, let alone sell. So I quit going. Haven’t been in one in years. They can close them all as far as I care.

Wasn’t Penney’s pretty much the first big retail chain to “go woke?”

Didn’t they hire a guy (ahem) from HP who spent huge amounts of money on diverse marketing schemes that made their traditional customer base feel unwelcome and drove them away, and when he (ahem) was asked about this replied that Penney’s was going in a different direction, or something to that effect?

Seems like a long time ago.

Where am I going to get a haircut?

[moviefan8]

I am surprised they are still open. I think all the ones where I live are closed.

The JC Penney in Pocatello will close this month. Simon Properties purchased the mall. It is currently an enclosed mall and a popular place for people to walk year round. Heated in Winter, cooled in Summer. Simon believes that is a waste of money, so the mall will be demolished beginning May 31st. The JC Penney property opens into the mall. Only a few of the big retailers will survive the demolition. All of the locals are closing up shop permanently. A Target will be built. The "mall" will be transformed into a large outdoor strip mall. When you're finished shopping, make a beeline for your car. The food court won't be there anymore.

Years ago I had a boss in a performance review tell me I needed to start shopping at Nordstrom. He was telling me I needed more biz like clothes (this was mid 1970s). I was still wearing my high school short skirts. At first I was offended, but knew he was right. So, I went to J C Penney (could not afford Nordstrom) and bought a new more appropriate wardrobe, which my then husband called frumpy. I ended up with better jobs, and got rid of the loser husband. Got a college education worth something too. Thank you Ben Wilkins...and JC Penney.

They went down the crapper when they spent a bunch of money pushing advertisements with ellen degenerate that turned off 90% of their customers. everything woke turns to ####

[Flash Bazbeaux]

I have never been in a JC Penney’s. I was in a Montgomery Ward once, bought a mattress.
