My husband and I went to a nearby mall last night and shopped at JC Penney which we haven’t been to in decades. I had been shopping at Kohl’s (and he at WalMart) but no longer. I believe JC Penney was targeted for bankruptcy like Sears, Toys R Us, and GameStop by the rotten hedge funds. We both needed a wardrobe update but really we needed some specific items for an upcoming wedding so JC Penney it was.
Some observations. Much of the mall had no stores and even at 5:45 pm on a Wed, hardly anyone was at the mall. It was HOT (and we are in Central FL.) They said the entire AC for the mall was broken and had to be replaced. Interestingly at a nearby mall a few weeks ago (where we went to see Top Gun Maverick), it too was warm, although fortunately it was cool in the movie theater. A friend says that in touristy area of Orlando, all businesses have been turning up their thermostats. Obviously to save money.
JC Penney was pretty well stocked I thought. We were able to easily find what we needed. But I didn’t look at shoes at all.
I will say that the resale shops like Marshalls, Ross, etc. have been usually very empty for the past 2 years. I’m not a big shopper but the few times that I have gone into those stores, their inventory was really limited.
