Do you shop at JC Penney?

I have to say that I never did. It was and is an anchor store in our local mall but I always just parked there and walked through it to get to the stores or job that I really wanted to be at. My impression was always that it was a "cheaper" store with mediocre clothes and products.
I recently read an article that predicted that JC Penney (aka JCP) will be one of the next 5 brands to disappear in the US. I just asked a friend of mine who is a higher-up in the company and he totally agreed. His response: "top 3".
I know recently they have included Sephora mini-shops and large appliances in their offerings. I would have thought that would have helped them.

I think in recent years they have tried to bump up their mediocre product reputation . . . but still there is something lacking about the store in general. I have shopped there occasionally, but not in a long time - it's just not a place I think to shop at most times (unless I have a nice coupon which I haven't gotten in months). I don't doubt it will eventually disappear . . . I can think of some other department stores that are probably right next to them in the top 5.

I have, but not for years. They are an anchor in the mall here too, along with Macy's which is not doing well either. Sears is on the verge of extinction too.

I shop there every now and then. The closest one to me is over 50 miles away.

It always cost more and many times had identical clothes to Wal Mart. I also noted about fifteen or twenty years ago that it had a sale every week. . . why not just lower prices always.

I haven't shopped there in years. Like you, I usually just walk through it.

Not often, their prices have sky-rocketed lately.
