Marc Fuller

That’s exact what I said. They are so dumb....How are you going to bring back that 1960’a name “Penny’s”. Hell I would not want to chop there LMAO!!
This new CEO from Joann’s...(I’m 35 and have never been to a damn Joann’s LOL).... she should just kept the “JCP” name and brought in more tech, kick ass deals and Pop-Up’s to compete against H&M and Kohl’s. This Texas company is DOA!!

@Marc Fuller You got it all wrong, kid. Penny's is the perfect name for them, as theirs has been a penny stock since Jan 10 of this year. Thanks to the plague, they will have to weather yet another quarter of absolute loss for a meager chance to pull themselves out of the trash.

what?! my jcpenny still has the nerve to maintain at least 80% of in store items at full price! theres only a small corner for clearance items. on top of that, it hasnt been remodeled in at least 15 yrs and is congested with bedding crap and homewear. That's why I don't even bother shopping in-store. I'm better off shopping on their website where theres a bigger variety of clearance clothing to choose from and there are auto suggested coupons at check out for items not on clearance. Maybe that's what jcpenny will end up doing. Moving entirely online and closing all its stores, assuming it survives at all. Nothing theyve been doing has been working for years. I was expecting them to have a going out of business sale years ago and it's near insulting that they still refuse to.

Their net income went from close to 400 million in 2011 to almost a - 1 billion in loss in 2013. This was all due to his reckless spendings and hiring and alienating customers.

He didn't help... However, they were on the way out before that. He was brought in as a Hail Mary to save the company because they were desperate to find a business model that could survive in the future. Most likely their sales would have continued to drop. But he did accelerate the loss.

There are several issues - Locations - most are in lower end malls with miniscule foot traffic. Interior: Store spaces are cluttered with too much merchandise in older buildings lacking proper maintenance, lighting, decor, and overall atmosphere. Product: Most products sold are poor quality with high markup. There needs to be focused on quality products, but also proper marketing to give customers the feeling they have scored a great deal.

Luxury retailers are still in business because they offer an experience and high level of service. If JCP can bring in good brands and make their stores somewhere you actually like being, they might have a chance. I hope they make it, because some of us don’t like buying clothes on Amazon. You gotta try it on first.

Carlos Luna

Forgot to mention their non official employee policy of forcing all employees to push customers to apply for the crappy JCP credit card. Employees are stressed trying to make credit card sales, and customers hate the constant harrassment. Yet another reason we avoid going into the store.

hejiranyc

The problem with Penney's is that it does not sell aspirational merchandise. People want to look high-end and, at the same time, they want to feel like they are getting a bargain. That is why stores like Zara and H&M and Uniqlo are so successful - they take inspiration directly from the runways and sell them cheaply. Or, in the case of Uniqlo, they can charge slightly higher prices, but they also make sure to highlight the fact that the garments are made of high quality fabrics. By shopping at JCP today, you are basically getting what you pay for and the looks are Basic (with a capital B) and nobody wants to be basic anymore.

Paul Smith

This is an excellent overview of the plight of JCPenney. Also, It didn't hurt that it featured a Cox Business School Professor. I am a graduate of the Cox Business School, although my major was accounting.

4y↑1

The problem with these department stores in America are they are failing to adapt to your customer! If you noticed in European department stores such as Selfridges and Harrods are approaching a different method for shoppers with providing more high end and low end designers with captivating pop up shop design. This is why art and design are important because no one wants to shop in a boring setup with bad customer service!

I took my teenage daughter to JC Penny's last fall of 2019 and they didn't have anything her style, I saw a lot of older styles for middle-aged woman. So we went to Kohls and they had exactly what she wanted plus sales and coupons combined.

The idea that JC Penny is still stable over Sears, K-Mart or even Mervyn’s from those collapses after five years is stunning.

Former employee here. It’s very sad to see this company take hit after hit and continue to falter, but honestly the company has lost its appeal for its target demographic, and Amazon’s monopoly (which needs to be broken up) has only made things worse for JCP and smaller businesses.

It’s never too late but the company needs a drastic, complete overhaul.

Back in the late 1990s & early to mid 2000s I frequented JCPenny's A LOT. I had two small kids I bought in bulk for & I, of course liked to shop. I bought underclothes, suitcases, cookware, kitchen appliances & frequented the salon twice a month...basically I lived there. I'm not sure exactly when but when the store changed their look trying to give it more of a boutique look the store, service & fashions went to the dogs...literally. The clothes, especially the tops I used to buy that were really stylish morphed into clothes someone's grandmother thought was cool drove me from the store. There wasn't much of a mix, it was just ugly clothes. There was no longer a reason to go.

I've worked for all those companies mentioned; Sears/Kmart, J.C.Penny and Walmart.

Walmart had a huge law suit either while I worked there or just after where they discovered shadey practices such as falsifying time clock records. Had a co-worker there that while she was pregnant had to get up on a ladder to pull down a T.V. if I remember correctly. There was one time when the whole truck crew seemingly quit.

Sears/Kmart was a train wreck. A few good co-workers, but highly stressful and city throat environment. Got me so bad, I felt a rage deep down in my soul that unleashed itself on kicking boxes in the warehouse a few times. One manager was so infuriating, that I took to wearing rubber bands on my wrist to self flagellate in hopes that I wouldn't lose my cool on the floor for all to see. Had to multitask way too many jobs at once all the time, got behind on projects I was specifically supposed to work on because of it. My supervisors got yelled at from corporate and then took it out on us. One of the biggest problems of corporate is that it feels like these people have no experience on the floor what so ever. They're just born into the wealth and trying to run things they really don't understand. Now I may be wrong because of course I don't know any of them personally, highest I've climbed the ladder was as a key carrier which unofficially felt like one rung below assistant manager. It's not fun to be in charge even at that level, do your best and ya still get haters, the worse of which may be those above you who feel threatened somehow. Got fired a week after having paid vacation for finally boiling over and cursing out my misogynistic assistant manager over the phone from the service desk.

J.C. Penny isn't all bad, but it's a far cry from the wholesome company it's founder dreamed of. I feel like the credit card companies have definitely ruined it. They don't use yellow safety box cutters, that's something that is non-negotiable, because I'm pretty damn sure it's the law. It needs a good balance of in person customer service and technology because that's just the way. It's probably time for the vampire to be staked. Just let me get my stuff out my locker first.

Started working here in 2013, took those years for granted before I left. The retailer got worse by the year.

JcPenny is horribly expensive. I can’t afford to buy anything there, even with their sales. Growing up, we relied on JcPenny for our back to school uniforms, preordering them and getting them with ease through customer service. It was affordable for students with uniforms and soooo helpful. It’s not the same like it was. There are other places where you can clothe yourself and it won’t take a whole paycheck, and I’d like to keep reminding myself of this at least.. 🙃

After being trapped in their homes for a month or two, maybe people will appreciate in-person shopping again. The trouble with shopping for clothes on-line is that you can't try them on. So unless you're buying another of something you already bought, you need to be in a physical store. Ultimately, the clothing market is dominated by fit, style and price. And people don't want to go in dumpy stores. If JC Penny can hire the right designers, get the price right and keep their stores clean, it won't matter what Wal-Mart does. Stores win when they stop trying to compete in areas they have no leverage. If people can just as easily get a piece of clothing somewhere else, then don't waste your shelf space with it. There's a huge market for sharp looking business casual wear. And people looking for that style aren't going to Wal-Mart.

In the past several years I have only rarely bought anything from JCP, but I still received their promo emails. A few weeks ago when the whole COVID thing started, emails that I received from stores focused on what they were doing to deal with the crisis. Except for JCP, which continued to send out emails about what sales they were having, as if nothing was amiss. That says all that's needed about this store. Completely unaware of changes going on around it. (And I unsubscribed to their emails because of that).

I remember my parents would always take me to JcPenney, maybe because it was cheaper than Macy's or maybe because that's the only store they knew/were comfortable with like that.

When I was growing up in the 90s, my mom would hand me the catalog and I'd pick out a handful of outfits. She'd call and order, and then I would wear those 10 or so pieces repeatedly for the entire school year. Now, I'm lucky to get two months worth of wear out of an item before it looks bad. Similarly, my mom has had the same set of JC Penney bath towels my whole life. When I moved out, I bought a set and they don't dry well and look worn out already.That's what is wrong with JC Penney: they sacrificed quality in order to keep prices low.

If they had better products, I would buy from them more.

I personally step onto a JC penny’s since Christmas of 2019 :) I always find JC Penny products more for baby boomers and retirees.

I used to shop at JCP a lot when I was in high school. Really enjoyed the section they had for teens. Now, as an adult, I find a lot of their clothes to be outdated styles and lack quality. I always shop the clearance rack at department stores and I rather go to Macys or Nordstrom where I can score something nice for a decent price.

Wow just seen this today and they filed bankruptcy.. so sad. Amazon is literally taking every retailer out the game. From left to right...

My group of adult friends spend thousands $$ at JCP. Cutting the coupons did hurt them. We would organize our trips to the city around those coupons. I didn't even know they sold appliances. We buy casual clothes at WalMart but we buy more expensive, quality clothes at JCP. Especially gifts for parents and in-laws. One category they are still missing is NICE, elegant lingerie. I'm not talking about trash like Victoria Secret. I'm talking about what a woman wears and buys as gifts.

They need to focus on cheap closeouts like TJ Max and Marshals for Back to School!

At least all of the Sears stores received major fresh innings back in the early and mid 1990s many JC Penney stores still have the same ceramic tile that they did in the 1980s and 1970s. I grew up in the 1990s and loved to shop at Sears and JC Penney. At least the last couple years off Sears the stores didn't feel worn out and depressing like most jc penney stores do. Dim lighting, Stained carpeting, And speckled chipped tiles are what greet most JC Penney shoppers.

I'd be sad to see them go, they were always there at the mall I stomped around as a kid. But since I haven't bought anything there in probably 15 years I guess I'm part of the problem.
