JC Penney

JC Penney is trying to remain relevant in the retail wars. I can't say I blame them. They are an American staple.

Michael Strahan has or will have a line of men's wear that will be sold exclusively at JC Penney. It's the first I've heard of it (I saw a commercial this morning).

I hope this endeavor will bring in revenue for Michael and especially JC Penney. I really would not like to see JC Penney go out of business.

JCP is in desperate straits if their stock price is any indication. It's up today, but even with that is still under $5. a share. A friend of mine retired from the company about 20 years ago and kept some of the stock she had accumulated - that stock was worth about $62. a share then. For the sake of all, workers and consumers, I cheer for their revival.

I love shopping at JCP. I get a lot of staple pieces there, and they always offer great sales.

I got some good deals at their friends and family sale that ran the last three days. It's sad they're often overlooked as a place to find some pretty, stylish options. Their A.N.A. line is my favorite and I love their Ambrielle bras.

I'm pleased that there is still a JC Penney in my area. I do shop there from time to time. Looks like this deal Michael struck with JC Penney has been for a while (after more research). I'd never heard of it until today.

JC Penney is still an anchor store in the mall in my area.

I have always liked Penneys, until recently. The last 3 things I purchased of a certain brand fell apart after only being washed a couple of times. I always thought their quality was good, but I have experienced that some of it is going down hill. It's disappointing.

JC Penneys is an anchor store for 3 of the malls around me. We also have one right in the small town that I live in up north. I would hate to see any of them close. I shopped there this last weekend and really scored. There were many sales (there usually are) and when I got up to the check out it was 30% off the total because I used my Penney's charge card. It was a good thing I didn't know that until I was done or I would have purchased a lot more! LOL I ended up with 2 pair of jeans and 4 tops and the total was just over $80. With S & H at the Q, I would be lucky to get 2 tops.........they would have to be AS IS or Last Clicks. The denim crops on the Q are running around 50 dollars with out adding in shipping for each pair. I prefer B & M stores and pray they don't close the ones near me.

I love JC Penneys. I can usually find what I need and at their prices, I don't feel committed to wear them forever.

I have a JCP Mastercard. For every $1,000 you spend (anywhere) on it, you get a $10 coupon with your bill that is only good at the JCP B&M or online stores. Since I use that card for everything the dollars add up. I've made trips to JCP with several coupons and gotten some incredible deals.

I remember as a kid pouring over their catalogs to shop. My kids waited for the Christmas catalog to mark all the toys they wanted. I have loved Penny's except when they hired a guy to creat a new image. During that time it looked like they were going out of business because of lack of merchandise locally. I think they brought the original guy back, or someone who made it look like Penny's again. Where would my hubs get his shirts and underwear????

Penney's is never a store I ever think about going into for clothing and I'm not really sure why. On the off chance I do go in there, I always find several things I like. Most recently I bought a pair of jeans on clearance for $11.00.

The mall nearest to me isn't one I go to ever. However, at one time it was the only mall around that had 4 anchor stores. Penneys, Dillards, Macys and Sears. Dillards left years and years ago, Macy's left a few years back and it was just announced that the Sears is closing as well. I'm sure the entire mall will be closing shortly but I have no idea how that Penneys has made it this long.

The Penney's at our mall is closing. I didn't find it shocking. The store has looked "tired" and needed modernization for some time. I hope at least you can order on-line as I always have good luck with their window treatments. Great quality and great value.

I rarely got out of a stroll though Penney's last year without buying something. I love their Xersion line of workout clothes. The look good, are priced right, and wash very well.

I also bought 2 hallway runners (made in the USA too) from their online offerings. Our Penneys is always busy.

@itiswhatitis JCP has dressed me since I was 18. They sell tall clothing at affordable prices. I also like their window coverings and I have housewares and furniture from them. I honestly will fall on the floor and have an episode if they go out of business, from the clothing perspectve alone.

@Bird mama

My house won't have window coverings, towels, housewares either. Not to mention the clothes we buy there. Yikes!

Re: JC Penney

@fluffysmom& @Bird mama - A LOT of my window coverings are from Penneys. And the extremely knowledgeable sales associates have staffed that dept for years. They really know their stuff and our various blinds and shades have been perfect.

My mom loves to shop at Penny's, especially because of the coupons. She's found really cute clothes for her granddaughter and herself there. I've found a few things there too. The one closest to me is generally busy, and especially Black Friday weekends. I think it's because of the location. It's off a very busy highway, and Wegman's is there too.

I worked at the Penny's here at our Mall back in high school and early college and loved when we got the Wand to scan products in 1980. I remember as a little girl when the original store was still downtown with wooden floors and still used the original tubes to send the customers money from the clerk on the floor to the office upstairs to complete the sale and make change ect..... I thought that was the neatest thing. But to still do that in the original location until the move to the mall in 1975 is really late coming into technology in that day and age.

I went to Penny's for the first time in April in quite awhile and found a little shirt for my toddler granddaughter on sale. By the time they took all the mark downs off and gave me on their own without my asking or even knowing about it, a $10.00 coupon the little summer shirt cost me with tax $1.69. That will not keep our Penny's in business but I did appreciate the ten dollar savings.

I don't shop or buy much in JCP anymore. I used to buy jeans, tees, sweaters, and work related separates there. When I go in now I look through the clothing, but I don't find as much that interests me. I have purchased a few Liz items there.
