In the past, JCP had, on average, one price campaign every day. The stores were full of sale signs and retail rise was getting out of control. JCP partnered with numerous exclusive collaborations which was hoped to bring about an expansion for the firm. However, due to the economic slump, the oversaturation of the market, and an expected lack of quality in the goods from the consumer perspective, JCPenney’s success was degrading in contrast to its competitors. (Sloan, 2010).

Based off of my last journal about the fashion industry and how it has an economic impact. Recently a friend of mine opened up a fashion boutique in a mall. He has always been into fashion probably the most fashion intellectual person I know. In the boutique my friend has inventory ranging from shoes, hoodies, jeans, accessories, etc. All the inventory are clothes or shoes that are either hard to find or sold out due to the demand of the product being higher than the supply. The shoe prices range from $200-$2000 depending on what shoe you are looking at. The prices of clothes are practically the same price range as the shoes.

I took my journey to NoJo kicks in Detroit in order to find out what was driving the people who were running the store. When I went, I spoke to Pete Beletskiy, who founded NoJo, and named it after his two sons, Noah and Jordan. I asked Pete what had driven him to open the store, and he said it was his son that had led him to open up shop, stating “My son Noah had always been into shoes, buying and selling online. I saw how much money he was making and how successful he was, and I decided to take this a step further. I started looking into the idea of opening up a luxury sneaker shop, and decided it would be the smart move to open up shop in the heart of the city.” As excited as I was to take my journey to NoJo, it ended up pretty flat for me. I was disappointed to find out that the owner of the shop was simply just doing it to make money and was only inspired by his son to open up shop. He was not very interested in sneakers himself, but saw it as an easy business opportunity and took advantage when given the chance.
A long-time leader among discount stores, Wal-Mart began experiencing the effects of competition from a variety of sources with 2006 seeing the company reach all-time-low performance (Ferrell, Hirt& Ferrell, 2013). Grocery competitors, such as Kroger and Safeway, have had an impact in the grocery sector, which makes up 40 percent of Wal-Mart’s business. Perhaps most damaging, however, has been a closing of price gap in household and fashion lines between Wal-Mart and fashionable low-price retailer Target. Wal-Mart’s answer to Targets inexpensive yet chic fashion lines was to launch George clothing. The company took out ads in fashion magazines and held a showcase for the new line, but was unable to maintain stock of popular sizes and styles

In 2012 department stores in Providence are struggling. When one takes a drive through Providence the main retail stores are in the Providence Place Mall. From an outsider’s point of view it doesn’t look like these stores are struggling. After all, everyone in Providence knows where this tremendous mall is.
