I used to love JC Penney! We went there weekly in the Mall.😊 Miss those days.

I remember looking through Penney's Christmas catalog as a kid. Tons of toys I'd never seen before.

Nostalgia definitely keeps JCP on my radar. I have too many memories shopping at that store. I think they can totally make a comeback, but they’ve got to do it fast. They have a good pricing strategy and I think they have the right selection of merchandise, but they’ve got to improve the online and in store shopping experience. Both have to be fun, and right now both are eh.

My question is, what the hell happened to Robinsons? That was such a great store in the LA area. There were several locations at malls, and it was my favorite store.

Pennys’ Sephora was so small, and it had hardly any merchandise. It was only a tiny section of the store. It was so very tiny, it was approximately the size of the Tarte section of today’s Ulta store. The joint store was more of a publicity stunt.

We still have JC Penny in our area. It no longer has the beauty shop inside the store or Gift-Wrapping department. Those features (long gone) were a plus for anyone shopping in the store. Things are on tables now and some racks are available but (heavily draped) however, the departments are now piled in with each other and shopping carts are now made available which are handy but tacky in this upgraded department store.

{{Dear heavens. Who wrote the titles over this film? Horrid. You showed the name so many times yet managed to misspell it every single time! It's JcPenney. Please find someone to edit your videos before posting them; it's embarrassing.}} My mother retired from JcPenney's in the 1990s. It's the only anchor store left in our mall which has seen a huge revitalization. She gets a lifetime discount there and I think it's been about 10 years since she has been there.

A great mini documentary! It's painful to see the blood sports behind the scenes of America's retail history, that really was always ever present. We will be hard-pressed to ever even get that be warmer, comfort food ambiance feeling of periods as late as the 80s-early 2000s. By the way, what ever happened to those curious, hybrid/transitional appliance and kitchen electrics and apparel brand knock-offs such as 'Penncrest', PennCraft, etc ? I think Wards, etc had these "custom", concept store brand specific lines for a while. An example would be Sears/Kenmore, actually made by Whirlpool; right? OR: An Osterizer blender, vacuums originally made by Bissell, etc re-logoed as 'Penncrest', an obviously outsourced line of kitchen electrics and appliances sold as supplemental or subsidiary brands. Well, at least back then, US company retailers were somewhat loyal and patriotic, by thus keeping the jobs and money here, sub- contracting with our industries here at home and in the family of the good old USA! LET'S CHAT FOLKS. AND DON'T FORGET THE KLEENEX 😢.

JCPenney weathered the 1930s , but will it survive through the 2030's ? As a kid growing up in the greater St Louis Metropolitan area we would go up to the St Clair square mall Fairview Heights Illinois i absolutely loved the smell of the mall .

Don’t forget that when Penny shut down in 2020, it was the beginning of the pandemic pretty much, and there was no vaccine, and people figured they would be locked up in isolation for at least the next year. That situation could not have helped Pennys to survive

They had decent towels for cheap prices. Same with socks. I still have a pair I bought in 2005, and a rain jacket I probably bought there at about the same time. But in Penny’s last several years, it was impossible to find a cashier or a sales person there, and it was very annoying if you wanted to pay for something. It was going to be a long line when you finally found a cashier. Secondly, by the early 2000’s, there were several new and exciting chain stores at the mall. They had much cuter and racier clothes, as opposed to the predominantly conservative styles found at Penney’s. I think that really killed them, especially with people under 35. I remember telling my ex in 1995 that the store was going to die because of that.

Walmart quality has always been way lower than what Penney’s was. Especially with clothes.

I will never understand why "Fair and Square" didn't work. I bought the same thing two different times, before and after the change, and I paid about $5 less after the change. The signs at the store explaining the new pricing structure were extremely simple and easy to understand, with price tags being color-coded. My mom, who has always been more JCP's target demographic, also loved the change. No more coupons or waiting for a sale. Just get it now, less thinking and math involved. It may have even encouraged her to shop at JCP over other stores. Seems we were the odd ones out; people like to wait for sales and use coupons because it makes them feel like they're "getting one over" the store. I only wait for sales and use coupons because I'd be a sucker not to, but most of my shopping is done at stores where that isn't necessary in the first place. JCP's "Fair and Square" was more honest, transparent, and CHEAPER than what most stores do, and people DISLIKED them for it, so much so that JCP had to go back to setting inflated "regular prices" and luring people in with coupons and sales.

So much good and accurate information. Still, just far too many puns, analogies and anecdotes to keep watching or even consider subscribing.

It seems JCPenny is losing out on business like other stores.
