J. C. Penny's announced it would close 6 stores and a call center today. I was worried, after the Pier One and Macy's announcements, that Carbondale would be on the list. None in the state of Illinois though. Incidentally, J.C. Penny's was the first store to move into University Mall when it opened decades ago.
Actually, Penney's predates the mall by a number of years, I don't remember how many. But it had been open for some time when the mall was built.
ReplyDeleteDid not know that. I read recently that it was the first tenant of the mall when it opened.
