As a regular shopper of JC Penney for decades ... I will continue to be a shopper there. Thanks Penneys!

Volunteer at a homeless shelter, raise money for the Innocence Project, go visit a nursing home. Help people who need it.

Arguably, no business has done that better than Apple under Mr. Johnson, "
Originally Posted By gurgitoy2 Thanks, iJobs, that's an interesting article. I hope that he can turn around JCP. Hopefully he can get them to differentiate themselves from the competition. It will be hard, because of JCP's reputation as middle-of-the-road department store.
Originally Posted By DyGDisney My husband's coworker said his wife now loves Penney's. She said it has become more upscale, almost along the lines of Macy's quality, but without Macy's price. I rarely shop there for myself because we don't have on in our town, but I think I'll have to check it out!
Originally Posted By mele My daughter likes JCP. I sometimes buy a purse or accessorie from there. That end of the mall is the easiest to park in so I often walk through the store. I prefer Macy's but I don't really shop much at either. I mostly go to Macy's for the Betsey Johnson jewelry and the Fiestaware.

This same JC Penney is where I bought my Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Carribean story LPs back in the day. I'm pretty loyal, but even more loyal to them now.
