Why J.C. Penney Will Never Be Great Again
6:30AM 2/02/2012
J.C. Penney's new CEO plans to remake the tired old department store chain a la the Apple Store and Target, and his fresh ideas are earning him applause. But as investors and industry watchers cheer Ron Johnson's turnaround concepts, they're ignoring some big potholes on the road ahead.
This is the time of year when retailers can't seem to move product out of their stores fast enough, but now Walmart and Target are scrambling to get some of their merchandise back: Potentially tainted infant formula and a children's travel case that definitely has too much lead in its paint.

Wal-Mart's Latest Fashion Fail Proves Again That It's No Target
10:00AM 11/01/2011

8:48AM 10/12/2011
Two of the men most responsible for making Target a cool, hip shopping option will soon be leading J.C. Penney's, which means bold changes could be coming for the middle-of-the-road department store chain. Can Ron Johnson and Michael Francis help it shake its stodgy image?
Target Teams With Designer Jason Wu for February Fashion Launch
8:00PM 10/03/2011
Discount retailer Target confirmed Monday that its next high fashion collaborator would be Jason Wu, the Taiwanese-American designer, beloved by everyone from first lady Michelle Obama to famed drag-queen RuPaul.
Target is getting a head start on the biggest online shopping day of the year. The cheap-chic discounter sent out an email blast on Sept. 26 touting "Cyber Monday in September." "Lucky You. These Cyber Monday deals couldn't wait until November. Better hurry," coos Target.com.
Target strategically built a wave of buzz around Tuesday's launch of the Missoni for Target line, but the retailer was unprepared for what it created: Mob scenes in stores and a surge that crashed its website for more than a day. So was the near instant sellout a success, or a PR mess?
