Agree with everything said so far, tacky merchandise at a premium price. I rarely go in there anymore because there is nothing for me. Loyal Peeny’s shoppers said it over and over again and Pennys didn’t listen, the board said they supported all the hairbrain ideas. It’s a shame that they almost ran a good store in the ground before they saw the light

I loved working for J.C.Penney from 1993 to March of 2010.I began at a outlet store in Potomac Mills Mall in Woodbridge,Virginia.I later moved to Florida and worked in a J.C.Penney retail store.In Jan.2010,I began noticing changes coming,and not for the better.So,after working for 17 years for James Cash Penney’s wonderful stores,I felt it was a good time to retire.I was sorry to see many of my fellow associates lose their jobs,or given retirement deals.They were a great group of hard working,loyal people.Customer service,at out local store,is almost non-existent.I hope that J.C.Penney will survive and go back to the way they were.

What they are not saying is that once the new strategy was in place, the lowest grade of apparel was unleashed. The fabrics are extremely thin, lacking quality and design. Although the new concept gained my trust quickly, I was disappointed that they lowered their standards and inventory storewide. What a bait and switch! Kmart and Sears have better quality apparel. Here in Pittsburgh, there is hardly any competition for Macys. We lost Kaufmanns and now our local mall offers Target as it’s replacement. Penneys looked real attractive about 10 yrs. ago. Now it is a very depressing and generic shopping experience. I refuse to be fooled by bright white displays starring neon colored clothes with inferior quality. Sorry Penneys but my card is as good as destroyed! So disappointed to lose another good retailer.

Biggest mistake made. So afraid CEO has been the death of a really good store. If it isn’t,t broken,don’t fix it!! Have been in the store and can’t find anything to by. Everything looks so CHEAP . Maybe you should consider a new CEO that actually knows about the retail business! I just hope the stores can stay open and return to their glory days.

Why is SALE the dreaded S word??? It’s my favorite 4 letter word (REALLY).. JCP sucked after it got rid of the coupons.. The clothes look trashy; cheap.. Used to be one of my favorite places to shop, till they got rid of the coupons and sales. HOpe they turn things around

jc penneys might as well signed a suicide note with the hiring of Michael Francis and whim ever the are getting there marketing deals from! rather than introduce changes to the store that embraced the current shopper they took all the things that made us like jc penneys and got rid of them! I wish you could have seen my credit card, I’m sure it was at least $6000.00. that’s alot of interest for jc pennies to warn monthly because I constantly found something I liked at pennies and purchased it….now, I have not madevone purchase since dec,2011 and my credit card is one payment shy of being paid off. why? because there is nothing good to buy in jcpenneys anymore! you completely dumped on all your tried and true shoppers! unless you return thevstore and the merchandise back to where it was, I’m done.
