Shares of embattled retailer J.C. Penney Co. fell another 2.5% in premarket trading on Friday amid an interal battle with shareholders. The board slammed Pershing Square Capital Management's Bill Ackman for a letter in which he criticized the board's failure to find a longer-term solution for the Chief Executive Officer Mike Ulman.

It’s gender discrimination of they don’t offer leather fetish items for women.
“Ill have fall backs at Sears (until they crater) or Macys (despite the Commie star.)”
Did you see post 15 on Sears? I’d say Sears is worse than Penney’s if this get up for men is really being sold at Sears.
Geez, everyone knows you can’t *lower* the quality of the clothes if you’re trying to attract a gay clientele!
If you don’t get the old joke about Apple users’ reputation for being ‘gay’, I won’t be the one to explain it!
Sounds like the Natck mall,
You cannot run a business catering to 2% of the population whom the other 98% of the population find offensive.
Strikeouts are the original. Bold indications my correction, and Underline is where the same word is used correctly.
There Their clothes were not cheep cheap but they used to wash and wear really well .If you purchased something from there you could expect to last and even be handed down.
There Their quality started to drop a lot and I had to be a lot more careful of what I purchased there (my daughter still had a closet full of their dresses , jeans and shoes ) The pushing the gay agenda and the in your face adds ads really turned me off . I stopped shopping there the day the first add ad came out .
For a store to keep its customers they need to know who there their customers are . JC Penny NEVER was the trendy place and all they did was just insult their regular customers .
The JC Pennys near me used to be busy , it is now empty every time I pass by . I guess I am not the only one around here that feels the same way.
Sorry. I just couldn't help myself.
It seems that all the elites like to snub the great American majority. Gay-friendly is a new form of snobishness. The fashionistas and celebs love to flaunt their love of all things politically correct and gayness seems to be the latest in the world of pc. Who would guess that political beliefs could become a fashion accessory like a new purse.
I went with friend to sale at Penney’s last weekend. Picked up a pair of nice enough slacks in a brand that always fits me perfectly, didn’t even bother to try them on. Big mistake. They do not fit. Not even close. So I schlepped them all the way back across town to return them.
The clerk told me that many garments have changed their sizing this year. I’m bereft. I’d forgive almost anything, but NOT SIZE CHANGES.
A Freeper suggested that Kohl’s has a good selection of petites, which is what I wear. So I’ll check them out.
I predict K-Mart may suffer the same problems with their new hip-hop/rap ads that are 95% black children. With the overall blatant ghetto look, the ads obviously are made to appeal to the lower class of Americans. It makes you wonder how stupid their marketing people are when it comes to demographics. Have they done their due diligence? Do they know that only 12%-13% of Americans are black? I used to enjoy picking up some things at K-Mart; I’ll never go again.
How pathetic is it that corporations now target the lowest common denominator of humanity.
Last time I been to sears two years ago I have buy new dryer that is LOL!
JC Penney OH MAN I think last time I went inside a store is like 5 years ago
I think before that before they done away with the coupons I remember back in day my mom used those coupons for back to school clothes and stuff
WOW I never hear of that store Thanks
Thanks . I caught most of them after I hit post.
Happens a lot to me if I am rushing and do not concentrate.
I have traumatic brain injury from a diving accident .
Sorry to say there are none in New England.
.
Even in the 1960s I could not figure out how K-Mart stayed open.
K-Mart has always looked deserted and dying, for generations.
Yes, that’s unfortunate. It’s mostly a southern territory.
