Nothing new about this

JCP has done this off and on thru the years since discontinuing the PenCrest line. This must be an "on" year. And maybe it is not JCP that wanted to do this; maybe WP approached them to be an online appliance retailer and they just agreed.
 
Again?

Not only large appliances, but small appliances, too? They had also discontiued those, too. And it seems to me that had stopped trying to cmpete with Sears (and Montgomery Ward) years ago, and gone to nothing but soft goods.
 
I also remember when JCP had a product line of HiFi stereo equipment. They went under the name Modular Componet Systems, or MCS. It was actually some pretty nice stuff built by Technics. I have a really fancy direct drive turntable from the early eighties with the JC Penny logo on it, and it is as good as any of the high-end ones from the big brands at the time.

I remember walking through JCP stores back in the eighties and seeing an entire line of home products, for HiFi and other electronics to all sorts of white goods. Their stores were as equipped as Sears....In fact, they were even dabbling in the TOOL business too!
 
My first stereo system in 1978 (I think that's the year) was an MCS set from JCP. I still have and use the direct-drive turntable with a Shure V15 Type VI. One of my sisters used the receiver at college in the mid 1980s until one of the many times she moved and one of her friends had the speaker wires tangled and hooked the outputs in a loop, shorted it out. Couldn't find anybody to repair it, and probably would have been too expensive to justify. My mother continued using the speakers for some years until the foam surrounds cratered.
