JCPenney Stores Turn Closures Into an Epic Game of Hide and Seek
Just when you thought retail couldn’t get any more amusing, JCPenney has decided to turn what could have been a somber announcement into a game of epic proportions. Yes, dear reader, while other retailers are moping around, JCPenney has turned their store closures into a nationwide game of hide and seek.
With the increasing shift toward online shopping, traditional brick and mortar establishments like JCPenney have been hit hard. As a result, they’ve had to make the difficult decision to close several stores across the country. However, instead of going quietly into the night, JCPenney has decided to turn these closures into a humorous, albeit bittersweet, game of hide and seek.
As part of the game, JCPenney has released a statement saying, ‘All items in the stores are fair game. If you can find it, you can buy it.’ It’s like adult Easter, but instead of hunting for eggs, you’re hunting for discounted designer clothes and home goods.
Of course, there are some rules to this game. You can’t just go hiding in the changing rooms or camping out by the jewelry counter. And no, you can’t just hire a professional hide and seek player to do the hard work for you. Remember, it’s all in the spirit of good fun and great deals.
So, while some may see the store closures as a sign of the retail apocalypse, we prefer to see it as JCPenney’s unique way of keeping the shopping spirit alive. So lace up your sneakers, dust off your hunting skills, and get ready to play the most epic game of retail hide and seek the world has ever seen.
