The new J.C. Penney planned for downtown on Market Street gives you more options on where to shop with your grandma.
In the near future, if you find yourself in The City with a last-minute need for a barbecue grill or something to wear to a church picnic, just head downtown.
The SF Business Times reports that the popular (with your grandma) retailer J.C. Penney will set up shop in the “Mid-Market neighborhood,” known to everyone else as the dead space between Fifth and Sixth Street.
The department store will serve as the main attraction in the CityPlace project, a new five-level building with approximately 250,000 square feet of retail space — a much-needed renovation for the long-vacant eyesore at 935 – 965 Market Street.
As a 20-something city girl, the arrival of J.C. Penney isn’t thrilling news. However, with fresh executives in charge from the Apple Store and Target, the nearly century-old chain may be a little cooler, a little hipper by the time they settle in.
But really, if they can keep the wackadoos at One Million Moms up in arms, I think Penney’s will do just fine with San Franciscans.
