I skewered JC Penney when they went off the rails and got all homocentric, but to their credit Penneys got rid of Johnson and changed course. We have gone back to occasional shopping at Penneys.

I think this is directly related to the economy. They are closing four stores in WI and most of the locations they closing are in WI are in economically tenuous communities.

If anything, merchants such as K-Mart, with their Jingle Balls Christmas ad, ought to go down the flusher. That ad was offensive.

I won’t shop at JCP or K-Mart

Indeed. I suspect that deadmalls.com has most of these locations listed as failing or flatlined.
