| Aside from the fact that there is no longer many St John's Bay womens tops, and that the website is loaded with so many errors that I can't navigate, I think management has lost their minds. I chose 4 JPC crewneck tee's in different colors last night in the petite size. I noticed that they were $12.99, yet the same top in missess was $5.99. I still planned to order them today. When I did, the petite size was listed at $5.99. So why was it $12.99 last night? And how could a petite in the same style cost almost double the misses size when there is less material to it? Something is awfully wrong at JCP! |

| It appears that JCPenny is no longer carrying St. John's Bay basic pocket t-shirts in Big and Tall Men's sizes. PLEASE reconsider this-these are great t-shirts! Very comfortable, nice fabric and sized perfectly for larger, taller body types for men and women. I know many plus size women who shop these t-shirts....I am one of them. I have come to depend on these
t-shirts for summer and it is so disappointing to not find them in JCP stores nor online. |

They are the only bras that my daughter and I like. If your not going to carry them at least tell us who makes them so that we can buy our bras from the manufacture. |

Also, put the registers back in the departments; checking out is not a group event. My kids were raised on Penney's brand t-shirts, overalls, and jeans.

| You sound so ignorant! How on earth can you even type those words is beyond me! Ellen is an amazing human being. She does so much for so many and brings happiness to most everyone that encounters her. So what if she is a lesbian. She is in a committed relationship that makes her happy! That is the only thing that's important.
All you Christian people seem to forget that the Bible says:
John 8:7
“Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.”
Matthew 7:1-5
“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.
Maybe people should just learn to love each others as human beings and stop looking for reasons to judge others because we are miserable in our own lives.

| Let's assume top JCP management really does want to know what they need to do to reverse the recent losses, and that they are listening to their customer base via forums like this. Attacking a poster like fas933 has the effect of intimidating and silencing voices that could help management understand what has alienated once-loyal customers. It's reasonable to think that a significant market has been lost by the overt promotion of homosexuality. Management should want to encourage free, open, and honest comments about their marketing or merchandise, especially from lost customers. Personal attacks on commenters is not at all helpful.
Now for a quick mirror check, how would your shopping be affected if they hired Tim Tebow as spokesman, and scattered a few inspirational Bible verses in their ads? |

All JCP stores do have St. John's Bay again, and the new JCP brand is terrific. New pricing is also great. The changes to the stores are pretty amazing. You seem to be a very unhappy shopper but I don't really think the issue is JCP. Find a mirror. P.S. at some point EVERYTHING is on sale. :) |

| I have worn Cabin Creek clothes for over 40 years. When I was thin and when I gained weight. Had to find jeans at Woman With-In, they were close but not made as well or not true to size like Cabin Creek's were.
Now why would a company who had customers for 4 decades send them some place else to shop and instead pander to the youth? Like they have money in this economy...
If they get Cabin Creek's entire line back I will be back also. If not I don't care if the local store here closes.

FYI: Regarding the disappearing Ambrielle line, I found some very nice, similar lines with a fit like Ambrielle in Kohl's Dept Store(they were buy 1 and 1/2 off 1, 30% off on acct opening, Kohl's dollars that add up and many sales). Also found things there cheaper than other places online. I think I will do just fine there. I highly recommend checking them out! |

Couldn't find anything for myself and it took a long time to find a gift for my neice. Had to wait in line to pay - was told they no longer offer gift boxes and when I asked for a gift receipt the transaction stretched into the 15 minute range. I told them to forget it. I won't EVER be back!! Lousy merchandise, lousy service - just lousy all around. And to thing - Penney's used to be my favorite store. |

| I used to buy Stafford dress shirts, short pants, socks and underwear at J. C. Penney. My local Penney's didn't have my size in a plain white shirt. The short pants are geared for teenagers. All I wanted was a plain colored pair. The underwear I had been buying there for decades was nowhere around. Instead they had hideous whites made in Vietnam. I bought two sets of sweat socks. The Wolverine brand had holes in them after about seven washings. The other pair I bought was supposed to fit shoe sizes up to 12. I am a size 10 and can barely get into them. Plus when you go to pay for something, there is no one around to take your money. What a disaster! |

| I used to look forward to our many visits to te states to go to JCP to buy clothes that had style, fit well and were reasonable in price. Since they no longer sell St. John's Bay, I have no desire to go there. The St. John's Bay petite pants were the ones that fit perfectly. And for other things, I can get them anywhere. JCP have gone downhill! |

| These comments baffle me. The new brands are not cheaply made, and they fit very well. I've purchased several SJB items; my store has always had that brand for sale. The new look is great; it feels upscale, but with good prices. I liked the mobile check-out scanner. The Levi's bar is super nice--no other store has anything like it. I also like the fit and quality of the Stafford, JCP, JFJFerrar, Claiborne, and ijeans by Buffalo brands. The new home department looks great. |

| The current remodel is underwhelming. Less merchandise, higher prices, and where did the price scanners go? The old "new" JCPenney was disfunctional, but I could count on them having merchandise and clearance out the wazoo. The stores now are bare. If they don't have it on the floor, they don't have it. I gave up on their website because its search capability was horrible. I have seen amateur website with better search functionality. I used to be a loyal customer, but the thrill is gone. |

Now its a year later and their stock values have continued to decline so much they fired the CEO responsible for the changes that alienated former shoppers like me...but its too late. I won't be back...and now that you're getting rid of Ellen you'll also lose your gay friendly shoppers.

| Penney's should never have changed. The store always had excellent departments. The only thing that became stagnate is some of the ladies wear. All that needed to be replaced is some of the buyers for ladies clothing. It seems that middle aged women's clothing was lacking. JCP either catered to the juniors and older aged women, with nothing for the middle aged ladies. |

Please consider bringing these back. They were comfortable, affordable, and did not shrink. I have searched high and low for a replacement, but a 50/50 blended undershirts that is XL Tall is impossible to find.
JC Penney had many customers who were loyal to this brand. |

| I was a weekly shopper of JCPennys. If it wasn't a blouse, it was shoes, if not that, bedding materials and much more. I would even make sale announcements at my job because I was happy to tell someone about the wonderful sales at the store. But now, not much I say is positive about the store. I speak for a lot of people and we like to see the sign that says Biggest Sale of the Season. A markdown and a sign saying you can get an additional amount off... That goes a long way... ok fine, you changed your pricing to whole numbers but saying everyday pricing and expecting me to buy a shirt that's been sitting there for 3 months and is the same price or $2.00 off, I feel cheated. I saw the new commercial about you messed up. You are absolutely right and until you bring back the old selling strategies (buy 1 get 1 for a penny etc) Your sales will continue to drop. |

Great experience shopping in stores and on line - compared to Penneys. Penney's stopped carrying Gloria Vanderbilt jeans Kohl's had them on line - I ordered them and had them shipped in 3 days to my home. Macys has always been a store with great customer service. Penneys has now created a "we are so sorry - forgive us - come back ad - I am still very angry at how they handled all this - customers, employees all suffered. I may never shop there again - regaardless of what they do. |

I LOVED St. John's Bay clothing. The "JCP" stores have NOTHING in them anymore. Poor quality, poor selection. I received a $10 coupon last year to come back and it took me 1 1/2 hours to find something I wanted to buy. The management has lost it's mind. They've gone from a great store to a nothing store in a matter of 2 years. I wouldn't be surprised to see them close their doors completely. Shame on you JCP for destroying your company and losing loyal customers like myself. And shame on you for getting rid of St. John's Bay product line. |

| On jcpenney's website, I've noticed lately that when I return to a product page of an item I've either been to before, or have already bought, the prices have doubled! It's ridiculous to pay $50 for a lace curtain that I paid $25 just the week before. I tried clearing my cache and going to the page on another computer, just in case of cache issues, but it seems the prices really have doubled. I noticed they are having a spring sale right now, so is it that they are trying to recoup money from sale items by increasing prices on regular items? This is insane. |

When I went to call it in 2 days later the price had jumped to $550 each! If the every day low price was $275. and one can assume there is a markup at that price how can JCP justify another markup of $275.00! Somehow I can not see JCP offering these items "on sale" for the previous every day price. A very unhappy former customer. |

Last year after searching a good 2yrs to find shorts to fit and look just right were the St Johns Bay Chino in the petites. So comfortable, perfect length, looked great on. Well, recently I forgot them on a trip to Mexico. I know I'll never see them again. And of course, the JCP no longer carries them. Several years ago, I had the opportunity of meeting MR.Penney himself in NY. I think the man would roll over in his grave if he saw what has happened to his stores in the past 2yrs. |

| Wow! There will be no Penny's after the generation currently patronizing the establishment dies. Baby boomers wont live forever. What then? Let's say they bring back all the inexpensive brands you are all complaining about. Ok, great now the apparel nobody under 50 cares about is back and thriving....Now flash forward 20-30 years. All of the customer base is taking the next and final journey of their lives and Penny's is filled to the brim with St Johns Bay. A brand that anyone under 30 and from middle income households has never even heard of. Not that income and age should be discriminated against but math is math. The appropriate corporate action would have been to integrate the product, marketing, and pricing changes over a longer period of time so as not to alienate current customers while at the same time attracting new ones. I am 34 and remember shopping at Penny's with my grandparents. It was fun until I was about 12. After that the clothing I cared about could not be found at Penny's. I have not been back since. This is a common story. Bottom line is that the Penny's you all love (or used to love) couldn't last anyway...not the way you want it to. But I guess from a purely selfish standpoint.....wait this is also the children of the generation that thought cars that run on gas was the best option right? |

We had not been there in months and were shocked to see a store we did not recognize. Ugly polished concrete floors greeted us and the clothing looked like it was aimed at 16 - 23 year olds. We walked the store and saw nothing that appealed to us. My daughter loved the St. John's Bay brand and I loved the Cabin Creek brand for women. I am 63 and my daughter is 29 and we both were disappointed that our favorite store no longer exists. Please bring it back along with the brands we love. It is sad to see what our favorite store has become in the past year. There was nothing there I wanted to buy. |

The merchandise is completely different and while colorful and pleasant-looking if you squint from a distance, it is cheap and flimsy and repetitive. Not JC Penney but something else, something much less. If I had wanted to buy my clothes at Target I would have gone there. Sadly, this is the way of America and nice woman's clothing is getting impossible to find. Frightening. |

Lose the robotic rhetoric that your employees (associates) are forced to spew. Honest interactions will pay off in the end.

| Since the chang over last year, the store is not the same. Where is St John's Bay. Practically everything I owned was from that brand. There is very little petit inventory. The children's dept is not the same. In fact the store is not the same. The decor is great but the quality is not. Go back to the way it was.... please

| I recently relocated, don't live near JCP anymore and went on their site to see about ordering up more St. John's Bay 3/4 sleeve t shirts and bi-stretch pants, staples in my work wardrobe, and couldn't find them. I've been reading the comments am surprised and disappointed that the store doesn't seem to be carrying that brand and possibly others for those of us who are mature professionals on a budget. You've lost me, and countless others as long-time customers. What are you thinking? |

| I shopped in your Cherry Hill store a few weeks ago, and found some great items on sale. I was so happy! Today, I logged on your website to do my Spring/ Summer work clothes order and wound up frustrated! The graphics showing the items were horrible, making everything look like gaudy thrift store items, the selection was scarce and when I did find items, they were out of stock!!
I loved the catalog of years gone by. Id select outfits, bedding ensembles with matching curtains, often spending hundreds every order! Online ordering used to be so simple, and I found myself having to use restraint to not overspend!
Today I placed a $400.00 order at Macy's.com. I think they are scooping up the online business you trashed. Good luck! You're going to need it! |

| I also can't believe the downturn of Penneys. I and my friends have always loved shopping there and now looks like they are doing away with the bed and bath port on of our store. Every time I go in there is less and less. Kids dept is ok yet, but all else looks like it came from good will store. You're also wasting money on the little catalog you send in the mail and I also get one in our newspaper. Why two - isn't that overkill and wastful? Items in that booklet are not in the store. Beautiful colors tho. Please bring back the store with good quality clothing, etc. We don't need more electronics or luggage. We can get that at Carson's or Kohl's! That is where I shop now - at least they have a LOT of inventory to choose from plus good sales! |

It is so strange and such a terrible shopping experience - I cringe at the thought of shopping there. I don't know if they will be able to bring back the family spirit of if it is lost forever.

The brands that used to be there (St. John's Bay, SB Performance, Stafford. etc) were quality products. I used to shop there regularly but now I can never find anything. The selection and the quality are terrible. I hope this company can do a turn around before it is too late. Bring back the proven brands and the higher quality that customers used to count on.

| I have been praying for the real JCP to return. I have been shopping there and through the catalog for most of my adult life. I'm so disappointed. I have to buy tall women's. My local store doesn't carry tall jeans I can wear so I have always been happy that I can find things online or in the catalog. Not any more. I have to shop at Kohl's now. Please bring back the catalog.
My Mom is house bound and I had to go online, copy paste and print the only 2 blouses they had in her size and take the photos to her! Please bring back the old catalog!!!The current catalog is a joke. I throw them away as soon as they arrive. I used to keep the old ones until they expired.
I was so upset when they took out the whole catalog department! If I ever do find something online I have to go pick it up at any register which has been very irritating. The cashiers don't know how to make the transaction and it's worse when I return an item, which is now almost anything I buy. Pleeese fix this!
I could always find anything buy tall pants in the store, now nothing; and where are the sales? I like sales, even if I just think Im getting a deal.
I am so sad that this is happening to a store I used to love.I will continue to pray that a miracle will happen to save and revive JCP.

| I can understand everyone's fustration with the new changes. After all, when something changes, we tend to question and only look at the bad. Unfortunately, the issue goes deeper than just bringing back items. Retaliers and vendors change prices, they charge more and when JCP decided to lower their prices to elimiate coupons, alot of those vendors did not want to lower their price for the customer. Alot of people are upset over the coupons, and rightfully so. But do you realize that if coupons end up coming back as there used to be, then prices have to increase? Customers get upset when the prices are too high so coupons are made with exlcusion- then they get angry at the exclusions and complain that the prices are still too high and want more discounts. Then when prices are dropped to everyday low prices, customers complain that they are too high still. C'mon now, you can not get free stuff. I agree that not everything dropped dramatically in price, but everything did drop in price. No coupons or early bird sales, in all honestly I did not like waking up with the chickens for a lower price. And the coupons, yes I do miss them and I believe that they drive sales, but I also know that I end up paying a higher price in general in order to partake in those coupons. My Johnson had the right idea- he just executed it too fast and keot everyone in the dark. The idea is a great one and it can work, it just has to be executed in a timely manner and in a different way.
For those who think that we need registers. I for one will agree but times are changing and the vast majority of the population carries debit and credit cards and do not really use cash anymore so it was a semi-step in the right direction, but once again, poor execution.
And now the customer service: associates are fustrated and worried about their jobs and unfortunately it comes out when they hear the same questions over and over again on why things are changing and why there is no longer this and why the |

Bring back your beloved brands like Cabin Creek (chino pants and camp shirts), St. John's Bay, East 5th, Ambrielle, etc. Have classic styles, from petite to tall. Forget the fancy designers, which are not why we go (rather, went) to Penneys. Respect us by not leaving stuff on your website that sold out many weeks ago. Offer clothes that your customers will actually wear and depend on if they are not a skinny 16-year-old and don't like garish colors and clingy synthetics. Bring back or rehire mature salespeople who care about being pleasant and helpful to customers. |

| I am not surprise that Mr. Johnson lost his job because of the mess he attempted to shove down his loyal customers throats! He no longer offered customers what they wanted such as St. John's Bay! He forgot about generations of customers who were the heart of JCP. He appears to be in his mid 40's, so why would he not consider the age and demographics of this vision he had for JCP that he attempted to shove down our throats! I don't mind paying for what I want and could really careless about a devilish coupon! It was how dare you only cater to the younger generation! REALLy! DID YOU THINK THAT STATEGY WOULD WORK! There should have been goods and services offered for all ages! So you could attract a variety of shoppers! |

| Have been waiting for the board to oust the CEO who totally made a mess of Penney's in the last year. Today they did fire him - YEAH. He will probably get millions in compensation though. Hopefully, Penney's can recover from this disastrous year. BOARD MEMBERS BRING BACK THE FAVORITE BRANDS PEOPLE WHO VISIT THIS SITE HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR. LISTEN TO US OR WE WILL CONTINUE NOT TO SHOP AT J.C. PENNEYS. IT'S YOUR MOVE BOARD. |

| I'm so disgusted with JCP. I bought a pair of SJB jeans a year ago. They fit me perfectly. Now SJB has gone the way of the dinosaur. I won't wear skinny jeans. There is nothing to buy. The Catalog Dept is closed. I had to wait for someone to show up at the checkout and retrieve my item. The check out system is a total disaster. I hate it. The poor salesclerk had to scan my items on a hand scanner and then pull a bag out of her pocket. She then went across the store to another dept. for the receipt. This is a total mess and I'm not going back until things return to normal. Macy's, Dillard's and Kohl's do things the "Old Fashioned" way. JCP needs to go back and consider who it's customer base it. If I wanted to shop at the GAP, I would. The entire linen dept was empty of merchandise. This is a disaster. |

| Bring back the bi-annual catalogue!! I ordered *everything* from that catalogue--kids' clothes, adult clothes, lamps, rugs, shoes, boots, bed linens, towels, bathroom cabinets, chairs, bookshelves, etc.
Now I don't buy ANY of those things at Penney's anymore!
I miss the traditional, dependable, every-year items. For example, I would order several Cabin Creek winter and transition pants every year--and I loved the sizing options.
I sure hope they bring back that catalogue! |

| I happen to like the changes made to the store & the brand. The store has an upscale look but with very reasonable pricing. I agree that there could be more selection but I don't want the store to revert back to their old ways. My son finds great selection with the Arizona brand along with prices that allows him to purchase more items for his income. The quick check out during the holidays was convenient, but I understand the need for counters when purchasing many items. I hope that the new leadership will be able to merge the new with some of the old and still maintain the classy look. I am a Penney's fan. |

Our prayers are answered....I hope! After several attempts to find any clothes and brands I was familiar with, I gave up! After several conversations at the checkout, no one had an answer to the "WHY" questions. Long time employees were as confused and depressed as the costomers..I saw shoppers my age walking out with nothing and others being vocal about it. Thank you and PLEASE bring back the brands that brought us to Pennys. And oh, get RID of all the tacky womens shoes. OMG...Thank you and hope for the best |

| JC Penney's problem is not only the change in pricing. They have taken away brands that alot of people miss very much and they are not catering to all ages like they used to. I am not going to get my grandfather to wear a bright orange shirt and I would not let my 13 Year old wear clothes that look like a prostitute wears. Some of us just want quality comfortable clothes and not necessarily the fashion runway. |

| Went out of my way to checkout your sale on shirts. Heres a suggestion. Stock enough of em so that a person has a chance to buy one. After people start buyying them restock them. Hire store clerks that are smart enough to know whats on sale and where its at. Your' store sucks. Buy cloths that are of decent quality. Dam . Did that boss guy you fired ever buy his own cloths ? Do you think he ever had a job where he operated a cash register ? Did he ever have to count change back to a customer ? |

| Announced last night that JCP has fired Ron Johnson. Right move, but too late., Even if the company brings back St Johns Bay and the other brands, this company is in a death spiral. I see bankruptcy within 1 to 2 years. Certainly magement will try to save the company, but they have lost their customer base and it's not coming back... Too bad. |

| Went to JC Penney yesterday to buy a new pair of St John's Bay jeans. These are the only jeans that I've been wearing for a few years. Very disappointed to find out you no longer carry them. I looked around to see if I could find something else and left empty handed.
I used to shop at your store all the time but find that the quality of the clothing and the styles are not what they used to be. Will have to now find another store to shop at.
Please consider bringing back St John's Bay clothing. From what I see I'm not the only person who wants them back.
Thank you for listening! |

| In this day and age of idenity theft why on earth would JCPenney do away with registers and counters? Paying for items with a credit card is personal and I don't wish to do it in the middle of a sales floor with anyone and everyone walking by. I was standing there (stressed out)with a armful of clothing while the the sales girl was trying to get the darn thing to work. After several attempts she had to take me halfway across the store to where they did have a register and ring me out on there. The sales girl also remarked that since they took registers away from the entrances shoplifters have been having a field day. What is wrong with you people? It's no wonder that you are losing customers/sales. Your leadership has no common sense. |

| I spent 2 hours at JCP today looking for several complete outfits for business meetings next week. I tried on more than 12 pieces of clothing and was so disappointed that they all went back on the shelf. I've shopped at JCP since my grandmother took me in my early 20's - but no more. I wasted 2 hours of my tight schedule today and walked out with one bra. They missed out on my cash as I would've spent several hundred dollars on shoes, belts, underclothes, etc but their choices in women is worse than I've ever seen and the quality is poor. May as well just close the doors as people aren't fooled any more. |

| At least 4 times in the last eight months I got specials offers or coupons from JC Penney (I've been shopping there since 1976). I looked at hundreds of items online and EVERYTHING was out of stock. I threw away the coupons, totally disgusted and feeling disrespected. I wore their St. John's Bay jeans for years and now they are gone. I personally think they are circling the drain. How sad. |

| I used to shop at JC Penney all the time for basic clothing and housewares. But it has been a long time since I've seen anything at JC Penney -- online or in the stores -- that I want to buy. The elimination of the St. John's Bay brand is a huge disappointment -- I spent a lot of money on basic pants and shirts in that brand for myself and my family. The reduction in quality of the company's other merchandise is another reason to stay away. Apple marketing isn't working with Penny's customers. If Penny's wants to woo younger, trendier customers, that's fine. But you don't turn off your current customers before you get the new ones on board -- not if you want to stay in business. Penny's didn't do that, and the company's days are numbered. I'm sorry to see it. |

| So many people who feel the same way as I do. I have been a loyal Penney's customer for a long time. I have been totally shocked at all the changes. I always stocked up on St. John's Bay tops. I can't find anything to replace them. Everything is so cheaply made now. Being a petite, it's hard to find things that fit. The material is thin, the cut is super skinny. Looking around at the general population, I'm wondering who can wear this clothing other than a few 12 year olds! Also used to buy all my husband's work clothing there. I am so disappointed! And don't get me started on the hand-held scanning devices for checking out. I was told that they are planning on checking you at as they walk around the store so that they can better serve customers. Translation: Angry customers not knowing who's next in line, fewer and fewer employee's who know next to nothing... |

For heaven's sake at least applaud JCP for trying something new and upbeat. You have no idea how inexpensive these products are and yet you sound like typical consumers - you expect everything for nothing. I'm a consumer too but I also respect that these businesses have to be profitable in order to provide employment. Is it perfect? Not likely but it could be a lot worse with only one store to choose from. |

You get one chance at this JCP I will wait till the end of the month and go in. If I find my work clothes (SJB pants, the shirts are a bonus)and they are the same quality they used to be, I will stock up and buy like 5 pairs and be willing continue looking around your store for other buys no matter how difficult they are to find or to ring up. If they aren't there or if the quality of the material has suffered like the rest of what's in the store I will never attempt to shop in your store again. And for the record no I'm not a baby boomer. I'm 28 and haven't found anything worth buying in your store for the last 3-5 years. |

| As a Canadian shopper I would make two trips south to the US for shopping and usually stocked up on SJB for the season. A few times spent more than my customs quota at JCP alone. Just returned from a trip and a large store in AZ. After walking the store 3 times looking for SJB, I asked where it was. A helpful clerk walked me to a display - maybe 20 pairs - of cropped pants in 5 colors and 3 tee shirt syles and said they don`t carry anymore but to try the line Joe Fresh. I burst out laughing and explained we have in Canada in one of our supermarkets as a clothing line and most people call it weekend wear - it lasts one weekend. It is not for the office and it poorly made and the price point is horrible for the quality. She looked at me - and said its sold in a supermarket - I said yes and she blushed and went off to wait on someone else. I own every color and style of pants sweaters and jacket they made in SJB line. Needless to say JCP you lost a mega consumer - and to quote a movie line - big big mistake... Should it return I hope it is exactly the same and not a label on your JCP or Joe cheaply made items |

At every turn, retailers are making consumers pay more for less quality AND we have to settle for whatever they throw on the racks because they have stopped making the basic essential staple garments that everyday people need! Don't just bring back the lines we want, bring back the quality as well! |

| Mr. Applehead Johnson has destroyed JCP. I hope my favorite sales person in Men's Ware is still there. He's been there since I started shopping there some 30 years ago.
My father was in department store retailing for the first half of his working life, just out of Harvard Business. He started in gift cards and ended up running the company's only store. Then he was promoted and started opening stores. He did that for another company.
I say this because if he were alive he would be laughing at the JCP Board of Directors. You bring in a guy from Apple; when you have the whole world of retailing to choose from. So far 20,000 people have been let go. Granted the economy stinks, but to throw away your customer base? To replace 30 year vets in cosmetics with (low wage) pretty little girls just out of college.
Mr. Applehead, you haven't got a clue. BOD, you better do something fast. Don't throw away your staff that has been working so hard for you TOO.
You know what, my brother worked for your company for his entire career; every single day of his entire career. A year before his retirement was to come due he died.
Take a guess at how many people from JCP came to his funeral. Even though he worked in your home office in Dallas, and was there every day for all those years: take a guess. Zero!
What goes around comes around. You get what you deserve. |

JCP always had just what I needed at just the right price and even lower! My curtains, patio decorations, maternity and children's clothes, work clothes. I'm extremely disappointed that the SJB line has been discontinued. I notice that they are trying to revamp their image to gain new customers but what about us loyal shoppers? Chase us away by getting rid of a line that sold and is very popular based not only on this forum's responses but other sites as well. I've never found pants that fit me and flattered me like the Bi Stretch Pants, had I known they were going to be gone forever I would have stocked up. Please reconsider, please bring back this line. I don't want to take my business elsewhere but I will. Ever heard the phrase "If it's not broke don't fix it" that couldn't apply here more |

| I am so hoping that someone from the higher ups at JCP will be reading this and all the other messages here regarding people's opinion of what's happening with JCP and IT'S NOT GOOD. I am mega disappointed in JCP. I shopped here all my life at JCP as they carried wonderful brands with good qualily items. Where for art thou St. John's Bay, CabinCreek, Worthington, Liz Baker. They've been pushed right off the ledge along with the rest of us loyal customers of many, many years. All my favorite brands are GONE and so am I but not out of choice. I can't get anything that fits anymore. JCP has totally forgotten about their loyal customers of the past. I know people have been very unhappy with the changes being made for quite some time and it seems like 'the higher ups' just do not give a rap about our opinions. They ask for it but they just don't pay attention. Even when shopping online, I can't tell you how much time I've wasted finding that everything I was interested in was out of stock. Talk about frustration on many levels. I'd so very much would love to be able to order pants that I just knew would fit and I walked away the happy customer. NO MORE. I sincerely am so very upset and from the looks of just this site, so is everyone else. How can a CEO not pay attention to this mass dissatisfaction amongst their loyal past customers. From the looks of things, I guess we simply just have an area to vent and that's about it. What an unhappy end to such a sad story. |

| Last time I shopped at JCP (about 2 years ago), I was so excited to get so many great tops, skirts and jeans on SALE! Everything was on the sale rack or marked way down and were brands I love (Worthington, St. Johns Bay, etc). This weekend (3/29/13) I went to JCP to use my $50 gift card on what I hoped would be a bunch of new Worthington tops and was severely disappointed. Although I ended up finding 2 dresses, that's all I found. I walked through the store and did not recognize anything that looked like the "old" JCP. It's looks so boutique-ish, fanch-schmancy, and the clothes are boring. Bring back the old JCP! Bring back the good old days when the store was jam-packed with people enjoying a great sale! It was downright depressing shopping on a Good Friday when everyone was off work....and hardly anyone was in JCP. :-( |

| One more thing....when I went upstairs to check out the sheets, I found that they "coming soon" is a whole new line of upscale housewares stuff, I think. No more towels, sheets, linens, etc. at the Christiana Mall JCP. How sad. Guess I need to find a new place to shop. |

| Just got another email from JCP touting "see our new brands" Obviously the CEO pays no attention to why he lost customers as these NEW brands are more of the same...when will he face that young buyers are not interested in JCP and loyal customers are not interested in the changes he is making? Until he is gone I am afraid JCP will continue it downward spiral much to the joy of other stores like Macy's and Kohls who are benefiting from his stupidity. |

| I was very happy to find so many people feel the way I do! I work a very casual job and the St. John's Bay V-neck tees were my staple. I would purchase almost every color short-sleeve for spring/summer, and 3/4 sleeve for fall/winter. I am just sick that they are gone and their replacement is cheap and styled for a much younger (and thinner) crowd. My last trip to JCP was horrible. Not only missing my tees, but the transaction took forever for the couple of items I bought for my grandchildren because they were trying a pilot program of using IPads to check out instead of cash registers. Sorry, but sometimes I hate technology!!! There are times all it does is complicate life - not simplify! |

| I don't go shopping very often at the mall, but I needed some new bras and Ambrielle is a great brand for me and when I asked (after going to several different departments to find someone to help me) where that particular brand was she said it had been discontinued. I don't know if JCP stopped buying Ambrielle or if they went out of business. Besides the lack of staff in the stores, I noticed the lack of selection and a definitely thin, cheap look to the majority of the clothes.
Does anyone know who else sells Ambrielle? |

| I like the new pricing of JCPenneys. But,about three weeks ago I went to the store for spring clothes....Petites....and found it to no longer be what it was! Very little inventory, and what there was, was geared to the 25 and under age group. I didn't see any of the clothes that I had always purchased for work, either. I then checked out the underwear department ): . . . Throw rugs I used in my kitchen for years and years . . . gone. Checked on line today for the rugs....not there!!! So disappointed. It was always my go-to store for the "staples" I need for our clothing needs and home. Doesn't seem to fit the bill any longer! |

The whole Linden Street line was deleted from the JCP website seemingly overnight (while I was waiting for it to go on sale - my bad) With no item number in the system, I can't locate it at stores. Are they being sold through the JC's 5-star Outlets? If anyone can help, I would be SOOOO grateful! |

I don't like their new brands and there is nothing there I like so I stopped shopping there and now shop at Kohl's. I also don't like their new way of displaying their clothing it just looks empty. I guess that was their way of filling in the empty space after getting rid of SJB. I used to go to JCP everyweek at lunch time and leave with a bag now they have nothing I would buy. I am so disappointed in JCP. I will shop there again when the bring back SJB!!!! |

| I have shopped JC Penney my whole life and by the way, that's 59 years. I have worn Arizona original fit jeans for years. The fit was good and the price was right. Since JC Penney has changed their marketing strategies, it is no longer for anyone over 25 years old. I can't get the same jeans anymore, and I tried to order them online and they are not the same jeans or quality and the price has increased. For now anyway, I'm done with JC Penney until they market to everyone instead of a select few !! |

I would often pick up shirts, footwear, outerwear, etc. when I went for new jeans. My wife usually shops with me, and would often find something there too.

Every year for as many as I can remember I load up on the St. Johns Bay tanks and tees in summer and in the fall I get the 3/4 sleeve length tees. What crazy person decided to do away with such a popular brand. It looks lik JCP is trying to be a "fashion" store and cater to a young group and forget everyone else. My mom hates their "ads" and refuses to shop there any longer. Luckily there are other stores that now get my money and will continue to do so until they bring back the St Johns Bay brand.

A young slim girl. There was 1 or 2 pictures on each page of the girl in different clothes. This was the biggest waste of advertising dollars I have ever seen. This Sale flier
was only appealing to young slim girls that like that style of clothes. There was nothing at all for adults,Kids or Children. |

The weight of cloth was far superior to what is being offered today (no show-through!)and the cotton came out of the dryer ready for the office or weekend without an iron necessary. These were the daily basics that I relied on JCP for, and hope to again. Otherwise, I'll have to find another source of daily basics and then won't need to check back. |

| I wasn't a huge fan of JCP, but it had it's perks! I LOVED the Adonna pajamas and haven't found anything equal since. However now you can find some amazing deals on the clearance racks! I bought a $2 prom dress a few days ago. Here are my suggestions:
1. The store set up is terrible and it's hard to find anything! Fix it!
2. The prices are outrageous for the current quality. Lower them. You don't need a 100% profit.
3. Find a clientele! The "hipster" thing only hits about 1-2% of people!
4. Bring back our beloveds!
5. Fire that stupid CEO. You can't hire a guy who has no clothing experience!
6. Don't lie, you advertise $5 shirts, but I can only find $10 shirts. The clearance racks say $14 and up, but they can be as low as $2!
7. Listen to us! |

I always purchased St Johns for my husband, they were reasonably priced and fit great. Luckily, I did find a replacement for him, Lee's. I only hope that some other dept store will carry St John's Bay as I need to buy more pants and tops. Sorry JCP you lost me as a customer.

Found this website, and am absolutely amazed!!! Never knew there were so many others out there that feel like I do. Where did my old beloved Pennies go??? I shopped there through thick and thin for almost 50 years. Refuse to go in the 2 stores in my area now, because it is horrible! I'm in my 70's -- not a young kid -- I want familiar and good quality, and couldn't find either and finally just walked away. I even had a 100.00 gift card to use up, and tried in vain to find things that fit or I would enjoy. Ended up taking them back and buying socks and jewelry just to use the card up. With no activity on my credit card for well over a year, do you think they are catching on??? Don't worry -- I'm finding new stores and moving on. Goodbye, Pennies of my youth!! |

St.john's bay has been out of the question for better than a year now and i cannot find the 5 xtra tall t's anywhere else. I dont know if they are trying to cater to smaller folks or what.But God did not make us all 1 size.The local jcp and the online store have gone downhill. I ordered two 3 packs of the stafford t's.

Search for “Wal-Mart pits its George vs. Joe Fresh” or click the link
http://www.canada.com/story_print.html?id=e8649e7b-d0b5-43c7-a86c-061ed3638fb9&sponsor=
Basically Joe Fresh is an in-house brand for a Canadian Walmart like store.
Ron is amazing isn’t he, JCP is just a hype machine. You can not use cell phone, tablet, computer dazzle to sell cheaply made clothing in bright light. Well, he is dazzling you with smoke and mirrors and it would be with coffee, but that company has pulled out of Ron's plans, seems companies are distancing themselves from Ron..
Most of those designer labels Ron has are also, "Made for JCP, this means you will not find them at Nordstorm, there is a reason, they would not have it, they are made to a target price with high profit margin built in, some upscale store isn't it.
Now do you know how Ron claims that his new mini stores are pulling in twice of more profit per square foot than the older parts of the store, he is selling you a product like Joe Fresh, designed to under cut an in house Walmart brand, man, you are going to like the way you look, I bet Ron bursts out laughing every time he sees someone in a Joe Fresh outfit, I know I would
LOL, for years the best deals you could get was a place with low overhead, may not look pretty, but stocked floor to ceiling, wall to wall, usually with surplus stock from companies like JCP that have gone belly up and someone buys their unsold stock. Ron vision seems to reverse this, slick store, cheesy ware, high profit.

| I went to JCPenney yesterday to buy Stafford low rise briefs and St John's sports shirts. I was very disappointed when they had none and was told that I might be able order them.
When I went to your website to order them they were out of stock. I have never been disappointed in my life. I have shopped JCPenney for over 40 years. What a sad way to run a business. |

| I'm am very disappointed that the St. John's Bay clothing line has been eliminated. I was told the new JCPenney line is what took it's place so I purchased quite a few items but ended up returning them because they do not fit the same. The new layout of the store is confusing and I can no longer find anything without traveling throughout the entire store which is frustrating and time-consuming. To be honest, it's no longer enjoyable or worthwhile to shop at JCPenney. |

| I've shopped at J C Penneys for many years. Bought all my nylons there, as well as St John's Bay tees and home goods. Last time I shopped there was about a month ago. I could not believe the changes, and not for the better. Stock was minimal, styles for older women nonexistent, nylons that I love discontinued. In short, I hated it. Have no plans to go back unless they reconsider their direction and bring back some of the favorites, I.e. St John's Bay tees and the wonderful nylons they used to sell. |

| Lately I've been hearing a lot of talk about JCpenneys trying to make a new image for themselves. I think this is a great idea; however you’re going about it the wrong way. In this writers opinion the company needs a new name; calling it JCP isn't good enough because that name still hold your original "JCpenneys". The last thing you want is people to say "I got it at Penney’s; it sounds like a store that’s for people who barely have 2 pennies to rub together. I’m not saying you should jack your prices up either. If you think about it JCP should be primarily be marketing towards college students. They’re poor yet still looking for what’s hot. This idea doesn’t just apply to clothing; college students need everything from bedding, towels, pots, pans etc. that being said, if you want the world to look at your differently you need to start with the kids... and kids don’t like what’s not “cool” because “JCP” isn’t cool.

They also gave up the Barely There line and the Gloria Vanderbilt jeans, which I love. The store doesn't help me anymore so I'm going to Kohls.

| I like natural fabrics, and St. John's Bay was by far one of the nicest brands JCP carried. I used to go to the store several times a year but don't anymore. The last time I was in the store, what little product they had was just racks of polyester crap.
I was in the store around Christmas of 2011. The coat dept. had tons of coats and the store was jammed with shoppers. I went again last Christmas and saw only a few single racks of coats around the perimeter of the coat dept., and cheap looking stuff at that. Lots of real estate, no product.
I predict that in a year or two these stores will cease to exist. |

| I agree. Levi priced themselves out of my jean price range, so started with St. John's Bay. Thought they were comfy and wore well. Then poof...
Gone. How sad. Store has less selection for men, and are really going for the teen customer with the flashy lights and eclectic background music. I was even willing to go along with their crappy decision for no more sales, thinking the company could save some money on advertising. But, they screwed that up too. To the company trolls on here who want to say 'everything is rosy', stop. We don't want propaganda or advertising... Just decide quality products for a reasonable price. |

It has all changed. I go in their and I can't find anyone to assist me plus I have to wait in a long line just to have a question answer. Their is no check out on the second floor welcome shop lifters I end up putting all my items on a closes rack and left!
I am so disappointed in a store that I always enjoyed, it was worth waiting in traffic and looking for a parking space. You taken values that Mr. Penney himself built his reputation on and flushed down the toilet. Shame on you,

Jcpenney in my mall is very big and nice. They are having some remodels going on, so it's a bit crowed with stuff. Otherwise beautiful store with nice employees. And employees are always there too, working like little ants. Maybe because I shop on weekdays mornings only.

| Ron Johnson's guidence is nothing short of a disatater for JCP. His pusuit of the tween & teeny bopper market has not worked and he has alienated the middle class family market that built the company. The abandonment of the much loved St. John's Bay clothing line has got to rank as one of the dumbest retailing moves since "new coke"! An immeadeate change of leadership and reversal of stratedgy is Penny's only hope. |

| To those who wonder why JCP is more heavily targeting teens and their moms, this sect (woops, well, had meant to say segment, but...) likely spends more money on clothes than older women and furthermore is impressionable enough that there is a perceived need to change wardrobes constantly to keep up with fads. It is likely all about where the CEO and Board think the market share is; who is gullible enough to keep spending the $$ on new clothing and fads. It is disappointing, but it is business. Similarly, this is why most movies are "action" "violence" "sex" -- only it's the 20-something male market that is the target in that case. It's about business and profits. |

| I was soooo disappointed to see that Penneys has discontinued the St. John's Bay women's crew neck tops and replaced them with far inferior JCP labeled tops. Last year I bought several of the St. John's Bay tops in different colors. Went back this week to get some new ones and found they no longer carry them. The replacement JCP brand are sad substitutes, indeed, with the sizes not being true and the fabric and workmanship far inferior. Hey, JCP, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!! Sadly, I must find my tops at another store now unless you bring them back. |

| I have had a Penneys credit card for 30 years. Shopped at Penneys when times were lean for good bargains and quality clothes and housegoods, and as I got older and could buy what I wanted, I shopped thereat leadt once a month. No more. The housewares are overpriced cheap junk...what happened to the JC Penney towels? Where are the cotton percale sheets? The clothes are awful. I'm not fat, but I'm not in my 20's anymore and I can't find anything that I would wear. My 19 year old daughter won't shop there..she prefers H & M or Express since she says Penneys is too xpensive for what she wears and for the styles.
Unfortunately, even if this Johnson is fired tomorrow, it won't bring back customers...we have all moved on. I honestly thinj Penneys will be gone a year from now. It's not really the lack of coupons and sales that drove the customers away...it's the new merchandise they brought in. Loyal Penneys customers won't buy that stuff and the young target customer won't either. Bye bye Penneys....sniff sniff |

| I went to our local Penney's yesterday. It's a wreck - remodeling (how do they have the money for that when they're so down?) for yet another "hip" brand shop aimed at young people. I also checked out the new stuff by Duro Olowu - just ok quality, and there were only 4 tiny racks of merchandise. They got that part right, because no one outside of the coasts and big cities is going to buy that line. It will go straight to clearance all across the country - it's WAY too busy and wild. Penney's core shopper is female and over 40. No matter how hard they try, they are not going to be able to bring in young people, who will keep shopping at Hollister, Abercrombie, American Eagle, Wet Seal, Forever 21, Kohl's and Target. Oh, and having employees slopping around in jeans and t-shirts in a dept. store is totally unprofessional. Dillards just won my business, if for no other reason than they have quality merchandise for WOMEN (not just teens) and their staff look and act professional. I'd rather pay the higher prices for better goods and a more pleasant shopping experience. |

I had switched over to Penney's about 12 years ago (from Sears, which has been steadily going down hill and has now totally lost my respect by selling trashy Kardashian merchandise)- but anyway, I loved shopping at Penneys this past decade, using the occasional $10 coupons and finding quality clothing that flattered and fit. When last I went to my local one, they were 1/2 way through renovating to this 'new normal' and instead of the St. John's Bay tees and pants I love, there was one shelf of 'Made for Life' tees, apparently the brand that has taken over for St. John's Bay--I bought one of the last v-neck 3/4 sleeve tees, it's similar but just not quite the same;the knit material is thinner. And the horrible name of the brand 'Made for Life' sounds like a prison sentence and is not a flattering one, makes me feel old (and I'm only 51) I didn't realize that Ambrielle was gone until I read this -- Damn! JC Penney has clearly shown where it wants its loyalty coming from. They better start respecting their middle-aged customers again or I'm out of there. |

Brands and merchandise have been steadily disappearing. Once a very loyal customer, I have had enough. Kohl's is my new choice, they have their act together, great and ample selections, and great deals. In this economy, that is what most are looking for.

They have always had a good selection of different products available. What in the heck are they thinking.... the last time I was in their store there was hardly any merchandise on the shelves. It was strange.
I am so disappointed in the lack of variety in all their departments. Hardly any selection and as far as the women's clothes go, forget it. The only brand left that is good is probably Levi's. So sad. I will be doing most of my shopping at Macy's and Bass Pro Shops. |

| I'm really disappointed that J.C. Penney has stopped carrying St. John's Bay women's clothing. I loved the long and short sleeve solid tees in talls.I have also bought other St. John's Bay tops and loved them. If I had known that they wouldn't be available anymore, I would have stocked up. I am 5'7" and have had trouble finding tops that are long enough and have sleeves that are long enough for me. Please bring them back! |

| Bring back the St. Johns Bay shoes. They were the only flats I bought. Why did you stop stocking them. JC Penney is just not the same. Very sad. Dislike your ads and your stores. Very boring. |

| Very disappointed that the Ambrielle brand seems to be gone. Their bras are so comfortable, it is the only brand I wear! What happened?
Also liked the coupons that used to come in the mail. I would wait for them & then go to JCP for all my needs. Now all they send in the mail are big catalog-like ads. No discounts for loyal customers.

| So dissappointed that JCP discontinued St John's Bay. This has been my favorite clothes line for years, especially the pants. I feel like they've abandoned loyal customers. |

| Totally disappointed with JCP in the past year. I used to buy tons of great items from JCP and their website was so easy to navigate. Not anymore.The changes made at JCP are leading it into the grave. Everytime I go into any JCP now, there's rarely any customers around. I used to buy quality items at a great price. Now what they do sell is expensive junk that you can get the same quality for less than half price at the big box company buying from Asia.No wonder the investors are jumping this quickly sinking ship. Time to bring in somebody who knows how to manage this company instead of burying it. I think this had better happen immediately otherwise it may be too late to save JCP. |

| I don't agree to the comments below. When I used to visit jcp before it felt like old grandma's shop but now the collection is so sylish and affordable.the women's formal collection and dresses are awesome.i got praises on each and every outfit I wore that igot from jcp. Also, I didn't had to stand in line for checkout, their associate had a portable credit card machine so they came to me and got my credit card swiped and finger signature taken on their machine.i thought it was very cool. Now every time I go the mall, I first stop at jcp to look ate their everyday new stylish collection |

| I went in the east Knoxville jc Penney tonight and was a little creeped out. There were NO customers at 8:30 pm on a Saturday night. Then I learned jc Penney no longer carries the East Fifth brand, which is the only reason I stopped in. Bad move! In rebranding themselves they've lost me as a customer. Oh I'm 35 and have discretionary income. Seems like I'm the kind of customer they'd want to keep but oh well. Off to Dillard's! |

| SO sad to not be able to shop at JCP anymore. No clothes that are for my age. Nothing for people from 28-60. I won't be going back, and what a SHAME. That's where I always shopped! |

| Glad I found this forum. I felt like there had to be more people like me who feel completely alienated by the "new" JCPenneys. I tried the new setup after shopping at Penneys for practically my whole life (I'm 58). I went there as a kid, teen, young adult, as a mom, etc. It was my go to store for clothes,shoes, houesewares, linens,
gifts, all kinds of things. I wandered through the store of NO salespeople, NO staffed checkout registers, thinking, "What have they done to my store!?" I tried it and I hate it. Probably won't go back, but I miss it. I would go back if I felt like I could find the same variety and quality I could before. |

| I just found out that JC Penney will not carry St. Johns Bay Easty Fit jeans for men, What a mistake. No wonder JCP is going bankrupt, getting rid of clothing that really fits and looks good |

| You have totally ruined the store. Going there used to be like visiting an old friend, but not any more. I feel like I'm walking through Vegas. I'm a baby boomer. For 40 years I bought all my clothes in Penneys, (and most of my linens and housewares) but not any more. I can't find the brands I used to buy, I don't like the advertising totally directed at the teen and twenty-something age group. The housewares section has been reduced by half, can't find much there so have to buy on line. That is not what it used to be, and it takes weeks to get some items. Whereas I would go into Penney's at least once a week, sometimes twice, I haven't been in there more than 5 times in the last year since I can't find what I want any more. So very very sad what they have done to an institution because they have lost millions of loyal customers like me. |

| Can't believe what a mess Ron Johnson has made. Stopped in to buy a dozen Ambrielle panties only to find out they are discontinued. That's the final straw; adios JCP. |

| I am a retired 35 year JCP (1st level mgt asoc)and believe I see where RJ is taking JCP and Its not going to work. Penney has spent 100 years establishing themselves as middle class Americas Store and that's where they must remain. They will not reestablish themselves as a fashion place and they cant compete with the "Big Box " sores. So lets go back to 13 month long sales a year. |

| I just had to voice my agreement with all the comments below. How can a CEO ruin a store in less than a year? JCP was my favorite go to store. Now I walk right through it. It's so sad. I don't even use the $10.00 JCP Rewards they email every month. What's to buy? I'm tall and have always found just what I wanted whenever I went into the store. Now nothing! Try to order online? A joke! To Whom It May Concern: Fire Ron Johnson TODAY! Do not wait another second. Please please please bring back the old JCPenneys. I'm 52 years old and I want to spend my money in JCPenneys like I used to. It's just such a sad situation to see this awesome store go down the drain. |

| I Hope that J.C. Penny's readds these comments. If you are reading this, Please, dont think twice about what to do next. Fire Ron Johnson, remove his changes and bring J.C. Pennys back to us. Don't think twice, but don't wait too long. PLEASE. I needed to buy new clothes today, and I don't have anywhere to go for my style, I am truly sad. Where is my St. John's Bay.???? |

| I only buy Stafford Super Shirts. I am a school principal and loved these shirts as they were the best in the market. The fact that your company has decided to discontinue them is sad and frustrating. I will now have to shop at Macy's or Sears and try and find a shirt that is similar. You lost a customer of 20 years and - frankly - your store does not seem to care too much. When I asked the attendants at the stores, they do not even understand it. The layout of the stores have changed, the selection is limited, and it seems like you lost your identity. Was it worth it JC Penney? |

| I have always counted on Pennys to provide quality merchandise, and have been willing to pay for it. Classic clothes, classic cuts - merchandise that was well worth the money.
Well now, not only have you confused contemporary with trashy, you have downgraded the quality to "discount mart" wear! Really? it didn't occur to you that real adults have more money than tweens?
Looks like its Macys only now... |

| What new bra line are you making to replace the Ambrielle? Happy to look at it. I'm sure it was popular and you are just rebranding it with a new series. |

| I agree. I have been a loyal JCPenney customer my entire life. St. John Bay was the best! I received a $10 coupon a couple of weeks ago. Spent almost an hour in the store - free money, right? Left empty handed. So you see, it's not just that they discontinued coupons. They discontinued tried and true brands. |

| I'm very frustrated with changes to JCPenney's men's dress shirts. I especially like the shirts titled 'Super Shirts.' They have always fit well in the past. But the shirts JCPenney is now shipping in this category are too tight, particularly in the arms. It's either an attempt to save costs in materials or to cater to a different crowd. The tighter shirts may be okay for a teenager or a recent college graduate but I'm a 50-year-old, extra-tall businessman, who has loved being able to obtain a well made, nicely fitting, dress shirt at a reasonable price. I'm very sorry to see that go away.... |

| Announced today that JCP 4th quarter earning were a DISASTER! Ron Johnson has this company in a death spiral, and no wonder, All the new lines announced in the past year look like they were designed by hookers or cartoonists. In the latest ad "Meet Nick Wooster" Nick looks like a comic strip used car salesman! Pennys built it's business on offering quality clothing for the whole family at fair prices. They have abandoned that business model to concentrate on the teeny bopper crowd. The Irony of this story is Johnson is being paid $50 million to destroy this company! I fear that no matter what action is taken at this date, it is too late to save this fine old company...sad...sad. |
