Bedding Sale at J C Penney
It used to be you could count on certain sales at certain times of the year. Bedding in January was often a big blow-out.
J.C. Penney is continuing that tradition.
By the way, if you read that J.C. Penney is laying off 2,000 workers and closing 33 stores, you don't have to worry that one of your favorite retailers is in trouble.
Business reports state that J.C. Penney is doing some belt-tightening to ensure it stays viable. My heart goes out to the employees losing their jobs, and I wish them great fortune in finding even better jobs quickly.
You may find a list of the stores that are closing here (scroll down).
