I was in JCP this week and questioned the fact there were no directional or store directory signs.... - Meg Nov 9, 07:49 3
- I've only ever been in kohl's twice and both very briefly. I should really check it out. maybe I will work there next summer. -- nm - amanda Nov 9, 07:50 2
  - I've always thought Kohl's was good for men's wear and housewares, but it's really inconsistent for women. -- nm - mara Nov 9, 07:52 1
    - I just swore it off a few weeks ago. Used to be good deals, but I find it way overpriced now. - TFox Nov 9, 07:58
The JCP here is a shit. hole. -- nm - TFox Nov 9, 07:40 6

  - Hey, don't look at me. I'm a Maxxinista. -- nm - TFox Nov 9, 07:45 2
    - Hit it Max! -- nm - Pippygalore Nov 9, 08:03
    - I thought your one sleeve looked a bit longer than the other. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 9, 07:46
- All the JCPs I have visited in the past five years have been new and/or remodeled. - ty97 Nov 9, 07:42
- I think that is pretty standard everywhere. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 9, 07:42
Or the decline of the "anchor store at the mall" model altogether? -- nm - Strongbad Nov 9, 07:36 5
- I think this is part of it. JCP and Sears are seen as places to buy basics, boring clothes. they're not seen as fashion forward, which is - amanda Nov 9, 07:40 4
  - I was about to make a similar comment from a different angle. I'm elderly, looking for classic, comfortable clothes, at a reasonable price...... - Meg Nov 9, 07:52 3
    - Steinmart? Belks? Marshalls? Burlington Coat Factory? -- nm - Pippygalore Nov 9, 08:04 1
      - I have a BCF very close, also Marshalls/T.J. Maxx/Ross. I'm such a creature of habit - I hate having to try - Meg Nov 9, 08:09
    - My mom's in the same boat. She shops resale stores as much as anything. -- nm - mara Nov 9, 07:55

- That may be. Rolling in SB's point, can ou think of a strong mall anchor? - ty97 Nov 9, 07:41 6
  - The Dillard's here is crappy; I'd say Macy's and Nordstrom. -- nm - mara Nov 9, 07:45 1

  - Nordstrom is king. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 9, 07:44

  - I assume Nordstrom is still going strong, but maybe not. -- nm - TFox Nov 9, 07:42
  - Macy's is probably the strongest here. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 9, 07:42
