I happen to have some inside knowledge, this was a concept store created for a specific marketing campaign and no intention of this being rolled out further to their stores. The store/campaign itself was like three waves of executives ago at this point and will likely never be more than this single store. They were experimenting with box in a box but have mostly lost those partnerships too, the Sephora partnership was largely seen as beneficial to Sephora more than JCP.


Thats really too bad, it makes shopping so pleasant.

I know Penny's has opened new stores, it looks like they learned the right lessons from this store though, better merchandising, more lighting, etc.
