Comparing J.C. Penney and Kohl's J.C. Penney is an American retail chain store that has been in operation for more than a century. The company's history dates back to 1902, when its founder, the late James Cash Penney, opened a single dry goods store in the city of Kemmerer, Wyoming. J.C.

Competition According to Hoovers, Target main competitors are Macy’s, Kohl’s, and Sears (Hoovers, n.d.). The reason why these retailers are competitors is, because they are large department chains, and they sell similar merchandise as JCPenney. For instance, these retailers offers a wide range of products which includes, apparel, footwear, jewelry, housewares, handbags, cosmetics, electronics, and many other products. The department stores Kohl’s, Macys, and Sears all sells different type of brands that sets them apart from competitors, as well. Kohl’s added Under Armor to its store, as a way to attract younger shoppers who shop there.

It is vital to understand the consumers needs and wants in order to make a proper match and be distinguished from other retailers. Nordstrom distinguishes itself from other retailers by positioning itself as an upscale fashion store with outstanding customer service, and its multichannel approach.
I am a senior that will be graduating in May of this year. I am a Finance major, that works as a contractor through Fidelity Investments.

Mike Jeffries negative attitude about selling bigger sized clothes has effect people all over the world. But every negative has a positive side, so maybe selling smaller sizes could be a good thing or possibly a bad thing. Should Abercombie and Fitch sell smaller sizes? No, I disagree with what Mike Jeffries is doing with his clothing line at Abercrombie and Fitch. It has caused people to have a negative outlook on the company because they find bigger people “uncool”, as Mike Jeffries said, “In every school there are the cool and popular kids, and then there are the not-so-cool kids, Candidly, we go after the cool kids.
Their main competitors are Macys, Nordstrom and even range to smaller departments like Sephora, Bath and Body Works, and other drug stores. They also compete with bigger companies who offer mass products like Walmart and Target.
