We saw this coming, ever since JCPenney CEO Ron Johnson's stupid policy to
court homosexuals by hiring Ellen Degeneris to be the family store's
spokeslesbian, and featuring lesbians (two moms) and gay men (two dads) in
its Mother's Day and Father's Day ads.
Why was the policy stupid?
Because the policy alienated many Christians, who still comprise a majority
of the U.S. population, whereas homosexuals are a mere 2% of the
population<http://fellowshipoftheminds.com/2012/06/08/less-than-2-of-americans-are-homosexuals/>
.
Although JCPenney finally but belatedly fired Johnson, the damage was done.
Krystina Gustafson reports for CNBC <http://www.cnbc.com/id/101332279>,
Jan. 15, 2014, that the struggling department store J.C. Penney announced
today it will close 33 underperforming stores and slash 2,000 jobs, in a
measure it says will generate annual savings of approximately $65 million.
Penney shares fell 0.9% to $6.95 in after-hours trading.
JCPenney CEO Myron Ullman said: "As we continue to progress toward
long-term profitable growth, it is necessary to reexamine the financial
performance of our store portfolio and adjust our national footprint
accordingly."
Blah. Blah. Blah.
