JCPenney

⁶¹⁄₁₀₀ in 2016 challenge
Penney’s is really starting to come back. The store is always packed when I go there. They have a long way to go to be a 5 star though. Parking lot is small. It shares a parking lot with party city. They having pretty good deals here. Everything is always 15−25% off. What I don’t like is, they charge an inflated price to give the percent off. The store racks are usually picked through and not reorganized. They have ample selections here. I was looking for a gala dress for my daughter. Good selection of different choices but felt some were not dress enough. Not a lot of sales help around the store. Fitting rooms are never straightened out. Never enough registers open. Lines at check out were insane. Store set up does not seem to flow properly. At least to my liking. Personnel when you can find someone have always nice pleasant. They do have a nice dress clothes section. Now, this is an improvement from where it was. I think with a few more improvements such as adding more personnel to help customers on the floor and opening more registers they would increase their rating for sure. Not the worst store but not the best either.

I feel like this is the only JCPenny that I ALWAYS find nice work clothes that I like. I am kind of picky with work clothes and I like good bargains… if it’s not an awesome sale, they have great coupons.

Very misleading when it comes to their markdown and sales. A lot of the clothing was misplaced throughout the store falsely advertised on sale but not marked down. Be careful when shopping there. You will think your making a great buy until you get the the register and regret shopping there.

Went to have my hair cut 12÷3÷15. Was very specific on how I want my hair cut. I am disabled, wear glasses and have a Service Dog. Been to this location without a problem. The salon person advised me my hair would grow back in two (2) weeks. Now, I look like a man with hardly any hair on my head. With the Holidays here, this a nightmare. Tried calling the store for the salon manager. She was never available. Needed to contact the store manager for some help — this did NO good. Eventually, I will receive a refund, but I need to go into the store to receive this, they also offered a ‘free’ service. Gee, I don’t have any hair, what could you do? The new salon manager has magically gone on vacation! Won’t be going back to this place. Why should I, I’ll be practically bald for the next four (4) months.

I have fond memories of my youth shopping at JcPenney and my has it changed since those days. I love the spaciousness of the store and the brightness. I love how it has a Sephora right when you walk in, one of my favorite cosmetic stores. They also have great sale prices.
This is where the love fest ends however. Despite the spacious aisles and the cleanliness of the stores the difficulty in finding an employee to assist you on the sales floor is nearly impossible 90% of the time and then when it comes time to check out the lines to check out are ridiculous with only one bank of registers at the front of the store and usually only 2 or 3 cashiers. Efficiency isn’t there strong suit. IF they could improve these things shopping would be a much more enjoyable experience and I may find myself visint more often instead of just dropping in to check into Shopkicks for my points. (sad but true)

The Salvation Army volunteer working the front door has the best customer service in this place, and I told him so! All the employees here should take note!
I’m re writing my previous review that wasn’t very good either but this was the final straw!
While standing waiting at the jewelry counter to pay for my one jewelry item the employee was doing something at the register so I politely waited. She finished and started walking away I said ‘Can I pay for this here?’ Her response ‘I’m on break’
I pointed out that I had been standing there waiting she pointed out that even they get to eat sometimes… I said thank you and walked away shaking my head. The lack of customer service here is astounding!

This is your average JC Penney department store, although this one is somewhat unique in that it is a standalone store. This location seems to be well kept and either a newer or recently remodeled store.
JC Penney as a whole is a relatively reasonably priced department store. They do not carry as many name brands as a Macy’s and other department stores. They do tend to have good sales and special promotions regularly. This store is easy to get in and out of quickly, which is nice.

I just happened to come in to JC penny on a day they were having a Door Buster sale and at the time had no intentions of spending any money. At first I find a tie I like and My son in law was looking a vest. Door Buster sale– %60 off all suits and slacks. Well I had not bought a suit in over 10 years and was due one. Not that I wear a suit often but there is a rare occasion that one is needed. I got both Jacket and Slacks for $ 120 which is a great deal. The sales clerk did everything she could to find my odd short size of 44 short even going in the back and calling other stores. We luckily finally found my size and it was perfect. Thanks to Penny’s I looked real sharp.

Very convenient store in The Loop.
Has most everything you would expect from a mall location. Been there for Christmas gifts and some men’s wear. Very convenient check-​out at the front of the store makes it easy to pay quickly and go!

Very clean and large store. You don’t feel like you are bumping into the racks while shopping. Friendly staff.

Hooray for JC Penney’s
All Florida residents lamented the loss of the back to school tax free weekend. Oh, the tears! However, JC Penney’s has brought it back at their stores for a whole week! And they have a big sale to go with it!
The Good:
Get your cookware: I was able to get a decent food processor and George Foreman Grill for $ 40.01. AWESOME! And cheaper than Target and Wal-​Mart!
Clothes on sale!: Clothes were also on sale, and had major department brands for cheap prices. Think tops for less than 10 and bottoms for less than 20.
The Bad:
Department store drab: If you’re looking for cutting edge high-​fashion styles, you won’t find it here. Clothes here are good for business and school, and not so much for a night out.
JC Penney’s is a great store, and the fact that they unofficially reinstated the tax free holiday is awesome!
Overall 8.7/10= Taxes Suck!
