List to be released mid-March. Wanna bet a lotta NYS stores are on it? Sigh.
It won't be too long before you will be unable to go in and closely examine and try on clothes.
JC Penneys all but excludes whites in their advertising circulars...White Customers Don’t Matter
No direct reference to JCP, but there are a number of stores that have made a successful transition from brick and mortar to internet sales. Some have a good history of mail order sales as well.
Two entities that come to mind are large camera/electronics outlets located in New York. The local camera store is gone in all but the largest markets. And yet, these stores remain in brick and mortar as well as having huge online sales.
They are the ones to study if you want to remain in business. Companies like Sears needs to do more of this, if it’s not too late for them.
Hope not. I purchase clothes online at JCP quite a bit.
They did a STUPID thing here when they moved the return/pickup counter to the middle of the second floor. Too much trouble and, for me, too painful. It used to be near an entrance.
With their catalog sales, Sears and Penneys pioneered the kind of long-distance shopping that Amazon has turned into the wave of the future. Then they got cold feet and reinvented themselves right out of business.
So JCP still hasn’t recovered from 2012/2013 CEO Ron Johnson’s pro homosexual advertising...And yet companies still feel the need to pee on that electric fence in spite of all the warnings against such folly...SMH!!!

Loser company. This closing of stores will be about as effective as Luke, Han, Leia and Chewie trying to stop the trash compacter from closing on them with a flimsy metal pole.
Well over 90% of my on-line clothes shopping (the vast majority of my clothing shopping) is with LLBean and Brooks Brothers. I like their quality and timeless styles.
I don’t need BB clothes much anymore, but they last forever. I have only recently started get rid of 25 year old dress shirts. I still have quite a few sport coats. I gave away most of the ties and suits except what I will need for weddings and funerals.
You initially spend more for BB and LLB, but if you stay the same size and keep the same classic style, they last forever.
J C Penney has a decent selection of tall sizes, so I do buy shirts there. But Bass Pro has a much better slection of jeans and cargo pants in my size.
Amazon is where I buy my clothes. It beats checking a bunch of department stores and not finding what I want. Online, one can be precise about what one wants.
Originally called the Golden Rule Store, Penny was a hard working Christian who did not smoke or drink. These closures are partially the result of the pro-deviant CEO they had a while back. Sad.

JCP thought they were too good for the ‘great unwashed’... let the damn ‘elites’ shop there and keep them going.
Amazon’s leadership promotes globalism with their wealth.
