The days of JC Penney, Sears, Kmart etc. are pretty much over. Walmart/Target have eaten their lunch. There isn't anything those three stores do particularly well that a different store doesn't do cheaper and better.
I personally feel sorry for people who need to buy their clothes at these places. But I guess they don't have other options? I am not sure how they live their lives.
