I worked at JC Pennys years ago, in the auto service department, my employee time was about a year and a half, I got laid off as they were closing down the auto centers. We sold a lot of those batteries, the last 6 months I was there, they were no longer "life time" batteries.
Our local store downsized several years ago, and the "new" store will be closing its doors in another month, maybe less, they are at the 80% discount, store wide right now. They will be joining a long list of closed retail stores here in Freeport. I suspect the "pandemic" will cause a lot more closings within the next year. Gene
