I am interested in knowing if the locations at woodfield mall owned by Simon is staying open. It is not on the document but no Chicago area malls were really on that lost and I do not think they would leave a big market.

Correct me if I’m wrong; however I don’t see JCP at the Freehold Raceway Mall listed on the asset document (it’s a macerich mall) . If true this would leave the Freehold Mall with the only acher being a Macy’s. As Nordstrom, Lord & Taylor & Sears all... —  read more 

So this is a question for those who choose to remain from a former employee. I am actually curious on why you chose to stay with a company that doesn’t value you? Is it because of the pandemic and you fear not being able to find another job? Is it... —  read more 

I want to know if I'm in danger

Received word today that we are not on the asset docket, which essentially guarantees we will be closing. We're a Macerich mall with two existing empty anchors.

Now that Sephora is getting a new contract with Kohl's it sounds like bad news for JCPenney. Sephora was a big part of the stores and that used to draw customers into our stores especially when there's no Sephora close by. Hopefully this doesn't... —  read more

I've heard rumblings about corporate moving. Anyone know more details?

Did anyone out there get a email regarding our pensions and what May happens when the new buyer takes over ? What did you think will happen

This can't be! Installment payments..,what in the world is going on? It's as if they told us this in advance but I never heard this from the company until now. My take is that they should just pay us all of our severance and let move on.
