JCPenney stores executive vice-president Jim DePaul said: “We’ve now reopened a third of our stores and plan to have nearly 500 reopened by 3 June. To do this, we’re operating differently and taking a strategic and consistent approach, keeping associate and customer safety as our top priority.

“We continue to listen to our associates and customers and make additional adjustments as needed. We are so grateful to our associates for helping us navigate through this environment as we build on our long history and continue the JCPenney story.”
