The business of JC Penney has slowly diminished its profit, revenue and value as the world evolves, and technology has made advancements. With the use of Fortune 500 company Amazon, businesses and department stores such as JC Penney are losing its consumers/customers and are on the sidelines watching Amazon takeover. As Amazon provides ease of use and convenience for all its customers, the everyday busy life a customer has and can have is not in part to online shopping. A customer can now purchase something today and have it delivered tomorrow or even same day, which department stores like JC Penney struggle to compete and maintain with.  The demise of JC Penney started back in 2012 and since then has not been able to gain traction or ground with gaining its customers back.  With proper planning and coordination, JC Penney could have mitigated the issue and problem and could potentially be in a better business place then they currently are today.  Additionally, Amazon is looking to use closed JC Penney department stores as possible distribution centers.  I have provided the link below for your review, thoughts and consideration (Unknown, 2020).

Hi, everyone.

I wanted to create my vision board on indoor playgrounds.  They are just starting to open up after having to close because of the pandemic.  I think that these businesses are needed in our community for the sake of our children.  Please see my attached vision board.

Thanks,

Emi
