    Bankrupt in under 5 years,whoever is selecting sites in states has got it all wrong,they have no visible online strategy or experience,this model is dead.There is a market gap or lots vacancy due high levels bankruptcy in retail,that Pennys seeks to fill,it’s a fatally flawed strategy.

        And most likely because of.
        Gone are the tailored suits of the formal office workplace.

      this came up in conversation during the first two lockdowns, the lack of online Penney’s presence. Our thinking was that a huge amount of Penney’s sales are people coming in for one thing and leaving with five things. By moving online, a lot of those on the spot purchases would disappear (not all, just a lot).

      Same reason why the milk and bread in a supermarket are usually at the back, you have to pass by a lot of stuff that you ‘might’ pick up, before you get to the thing you actually need.

      If they ever do move online, that’ll be a huge shift for Penney’s and if they do, I’d say their how they do business will change drastically to match.
