on February 1, 2012 in Chicago, Illinois.

While J.C. Penney has been earning accolades from the fashion industry for their updating their brand image, hiring very a cool openly-gay talk show host as a spokesperson (that would be Ellen Degeneres), and eliminating sales in favor of year-roud low prices, there are people out there who really don’t want to see the retailer change.
