“JCPenney is here to make our customers’ lives easier and better with our strongest values ever,” said John Aylward, chief marketing officer. “Whether you prefer shopping online or in-store, we’ve got your holiday. We’re bringing back many of the deals families love at pre-inflation prices and adding even more reasons to celebrate with our ‘We Got Your Cart Sweepstakes,’ the world premiere of the music video for the Backstreet Boys’ “Christmas In New York” from their new Christmas album and more.”

More Ways to Shop and Save Early and Often

On Nov. 1, JCPenney is helping customers get a head start on their shopping at a great price with early access to shop thousands of Black Friday deals for one day only online. And to make sure shoppers can maximize their budget, JCPenney’s full Black Friday ad will launch online the same day and be available all month long to help them plan their approach for shopping’s biggest month of the year. With select Black Friday deals releasing online and in-store each week in November, there are thousands of reasons to keep shopping all month long.

JCPenney is closed on Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 24, for the third consecutive year so customers and associates can enjoy Thanksgiving with their families without missing out on the savings. After all, JCPenney.com is always open. The savings start early on Black Friday, Nov. 25, as stores open at 5 a.m. to bring back the excitement of holiday shopping with friends and family – plus the Black Friday deals shoppers know and love. That’s right; many of these are the same deals that have stood the test of time (and inflation). And for super shoppers who are first in line, JCPenney will also give out special in-store coupons at the door that can be combined with the already low Black Friday prices, so hurry in!

With extended hours throughout the season, customers have even more opportunities to shop on their schedule or online with easy shipping and pickup options. Visit jcp.com/locations for local store hours.
