PROFILE |
 |
J. C. Penney Company is pinching the penny, closing stores in both its department and drugstore operations. The retailer's chain of more than 1,100 JCPenney department stores, located mostly in the US, has suffered as the middle child of the market between upscale competitors and major discounters such as Target and Wal-Mart. Its struggling chain of 2,600 Eckerd drugstores has experienced the same squeeze from its competitors. J.C. Penney also runs one of the nation's largest catalog operations, as well as selling membership services. J.C. Penney hired CEO Allen Questrom, who helped turn around Federated Department Stores, in September 2000.
