I've always gone to JCPenney since a kid at a mall I'll shop other stores. But JCP always have a good quality of clothing and low prices & and sales , bargains. This last holiday season I went to search for men gloves Macys had them for 78 dollars then at JCP had them for $37 and they were on sale & got them for $17 JCP is my store to shop to obtain it the the same day read more

Jose is the best photographer! We always ask for him and he never disappoints. This time we brought our dog. We were worried that she wouldn't look at the camera but Jose impressively got her attention each time and we were able to take great pics with her. read more

DO NOT GO TO PORTRAIT STUDIO. Huge waste of my time. Made an 11:30 appointment, showed up on time and didn't get called back until 12:35. Had my two kiddos with me, one being a toddler and the other an infant. That kind of wait is unacceptable. I get it if you're in a doctor's office and they make you wait an hour due to some unforeseen emergency. This is a portrait studio. There are no emergenices. It's a predictable schedule. We ended out trying to get our pics done, but by then my kids weren't having it probably because the long wait and we were nearing nap time. We had to leave empty handed. Here's a piece of advice, JC Penny. If you're going to make your customers wait that long, keep thfeeem updated. When they arrive, warn them ahead of time that the studio is running behind and there is an hour wait. In fact, they did the opposite by saying we were up soon, but I didn't realize soon to them is 30 more minutes. It's probably not the fault of the people who were actually working there. I'm sure they got pressure to overbook clients, so JC Penny can profit as much as possible. Such a shame. The people working there clearly can't handle it. Never going back. read more

Once upon a time, JCPenny was able to accept apple pay, and system did not decline it, now, I don't know when their system declines apple pay? Management needs to fix their system and have their machine not decline any apple pay transaction. Savings great, but not their payment option, if their system is down for apple pay, they should, customers needs to be informed about their technical problems. read more

Came here the other day to do a couple online returns that didn't work and waited in a long line for a couple minutes. They really should get more employees or train them??? I saw a couple employees walking talking amongst themselves but not helping. However the girl who helped me was very sweet and extremely patient. Made the whole process quick and easy. Too bad I didn't get her name she was cute. read more

I usually buy Macy's but decided to give jc penny a try and I ordered some perfume make up and juniors tops one of the make up came broken up I called JC penny and unlike Macy's I was told I had to return it to get credit or get it replaced the junior tops I purchased 2 came in little girl size on the phone I was told I could take to store and get it taken care of in store made me refund it rebuy online all of this trouble and they never even attempt to compensate me for loss of time or the bad service from jcp.com at Macy's I've had issues they take care of you right away even when I didn't receive an item they replaced it and gave a discount for the trouble guess next year its back to Macy's should have stayed where I was sure of the service read more

This review is for the HAIR SALON only. Even though I do love the Sephora inside the JCP. :) HAIR COLOR! its so difficult to find someone to do my HIGHLIGHTS and not to leave my hair looking red-ish. I have dark brown hair and like carmel color or blonde highlights. I've gone to many fancy hair salons and have paid a forturne only for my hair to look red. Bo is amazing at color. She did my roots and added some low lights and dimension... and my hair looks amazing. I love the color. I've finally found MY stylist. She is a hidden gem at the Del Amo Mall inside the salon at JC Penny. read more

I visited JC with my mother to find an outfit for a job interview. They seemed buy a minute ago, but I was able to find what I needed. They were in great condition and the same went for the dress pants I bought. Everyone was really helpful and we left with exactly what we needed. The staff were really nice. I would visit again if I needed anything. read more

3.5. This jcpenny is improving. Maybe it's slow season, but I actually was helped by some clerks today. I had to go to three stores to look for swim trunk for my 12 year old, because he's in between teenage and adult size, it's difficult to find clothes and shoes for him. But I am dazzled by Jcpenny today, we'll shop here more now. read more

The best place to buy a mens suit. There is typically someone there to offer good customer service too. They often have a sale. No need to pay full price for a suit. If they don't have the exact size they will get it for you. Just allow them enough time to do that for you. read more

Sometimes it's difficult to find an employee roaming the floors. Sometimes I have to go and search for them. I hate asking for help when the employees are attending customers at the register that's why I go and looks for some but it's hard to find them. I do like that they're multiple fitting rooms which it is helpful. read more

This location is better than most. The staff is always nice and helpful, especially the associates at Sephora. Love their shoe section because you can find really cute shoes and they always seem to have every size. Clothes are well organized, and the fitting rooms are never too busy. Best time to come is during mornings. read more

I haven't shopped at JCP in years but I have to say that they have really upped themselves with the style of clothing in their stores. I went into this JCP to have watch batteries replaced in my good dress watches. While they were doing that at the watch counter, they said 15-20 minutes so I wandered. Large selection of Petite clothing and ones that do not look old lady-ish as many Petites styles do. Name brands too, Worthington, Champion, St. John's Bay. The juniors section amazingly looked like 1986. Somehow I think there might be a lot of this inventory left at the end of the season. There is a Sephora in this store with a good selection, not skimpy. Upstairs is a portrait studio and a hair salon. I did not know JCP still had salons in them. Flash back to my childhood. Downstairs is housewares and bedding. Overall I was pretty impressed and had purchased about $75 of clothing before I walked back to the watch counter. I am hoping the quality lives up to the style. The service at the jewelry and watch counter was fantastic. The service at the general checkout was so-so. Just like they had better things to do, which they probably did, but unfortunately they were stuck checking customer's purchases for a few hours in the evening. read more

I lost my wallet here at JCPenney at Torrance and I called and they told me that they have it. They even ask my name and verify and they told me to come and pick it up and when I get there they told me that they don't have it. I drive all the way from Fountain Valley and this is what they're telling me Very dishonest! It's a Michael Kors wallet read more

I wont be going here again. Really bad customer service. Really hard to get someone to call you back- unlike Sears and Macy's where they call you back regarding a sale or a lost item. They act like you're bothering them by asking to look at something. The makeup department is really nice here thou, and so was the girl working their, but I wont be going back because over-all you can't ask a question like you can at Macy's without feeling like: " What in the heck am I even doing here?" read more

Prices here are decent. I like to come here for their large choice in shoes. Lots of converse to choose from and thats my favorite brand. Came with my elderly mother and we were dissapointed there were not little carts for her to hold onto and put our things in while we shopped. They only had bags? to carry around which is dumb. No one wants to carry things while you shop. We also got talked into staying for haircuts by Kiana and she was awesome. I like how you can walk out with a new outfit and a new haircut. They just really need little carts, especially for handicapped people who cant carry much. read more

With their new CEO Ron Johnson, J.C. Penny may be undergoing some challenges, but their hope for redemption can be found in such employees that should be on their Board of Directors --- Blessed with the gift of good old down home "Customer Service". So it is at Torrance Del Amo Shopping Center with Selina in the Men's Department and her Manager Jose, When faced with a difficult issue regarding a gift card snafu, Selina took charge to help these customers resolve the issue on the spot - placing the call --- working with her Manager Jose, who stepped in with his expertise to bring equity to the situation and save the day. With the hiring and employ of such stalwart Champion and hero representatives of Customer Service, we have renewed hope for the future of this department store. We give thanks to the LORD Jesus for their integrity and service. When I say we, I mean I'm not alone. My brother Joe's report: "Selina and the department manager Jose that served us did an excellent job. They were courteous and helpful while resolving a gift card expiration issue we had with JC Penney. While the gift card phone assistance was unable to accommodate us Selina and Jose did an excellent job at resolving this issue and assisting us in completing our purchase. Please thank Selina and Jose, for us, for doing an excellent job and saving both JC Penney and us time, additional paperwork, and additional phone communications." It's Unanimous! read more

My husband comes here a lot to buy his dress botton up shirts. We had a wedding the next day to attend and of course we waited til the last minute to go buy a shirt. My husband has a wide muscular back and long arms, so his comfortable fit is 18 1/2 on the neck and 36/37 on the sleeves. After 20 mins of search for his size we found three shirts in pink, yellow and purple. Not the colors we wanted. We ask the cashier for help but wasn't much of a help. He scanned the shirt through the computer and looked up what they had in stock, nothing in my husbands size. Oh really? But we just found three shirts in his size!??!. All I wanted was a little help searching, since it took a little digging to the find the ones we found. Walked over to Sears, which didn't look so promising but to our surprise, we received the help we were looking for and found the right shirt. Problem solved. read more

The staff was just great. I couldn't find my receipt. Jacob worked diligently to find my purchase. I was able to return my items. Thank goodness!! Then Pierre helped me at check out. He was also very helpful, polite and kind. I sure hope this JC Penny stays open! read more

What a pleasant change from the Westfield (formerly Fox Hills) location! Super pleasant cashiers who really like their customers and can actually answer questions properly! Well stocked shelves and racks with more clothes and goods than I've seen in years! All this along with the great values that JCPenney's always offers, and even though this is far from home, I will be coming back as a regular customer. Bye Fox Hills. read more

Our first time coming here! We loved the friendly staff and the groupon totally helped!!!! Will be back for sure!

I am so disappointed in the Torrance JCPenney's. Within this past year it has gone downhill really fast. The store is disorganize, extremely messy and the shoe department had No displays, boxes were everywhere and they have removed the cash register. Such a mess!!! They have removed all but 2 check out areas, which took 23 minutes to get through. They had better step it up or they will be out of business real fast. read more

Jc Penny's has updated their look. Wow! I found some nice separates and a short pants jumpsuit. Pretty hot. The store was bright and big with a Sephora in the middle. Yes, that was the next stop. The lady at checkout register was nice Of course she offer a credit card. I said noooo. Lol. She was just doing her job. I will return for some more separates. The shoe department was OK. I have found some nice shoes at Pennie's before but later own the baby toe starts to hurt. So no way to the Worthington shoes. read more

So, after seeing the numerous, annoying Ellen commercials during the Oscars, I decided to come in because I liked their concept of not having special sales. Also, as a teacher, I love shopping for clothes here because they have cute, yet affordable clothing. Before, the usual brand that I get, East5th, ran around $30-40 regular price for a nice top. I'd used to wait for sales or the extra coupons during the weekends. Today with the new Ellen pricing, most were $12-18 and that's everyday pricing. I love it. Now, I can come in whenever I want, without waiting for a sale, and fighting with the weekend crowds. I love the fact that they have special mark downs for overstock on the 1st and 3rd Fridays of each month, so I may have to come in on those days. As always, JC Penny is more organized, better run, and much cleaner than the other department stores, even better than Macy's. The Ellen commercials are still annoying as heck though. read more

This review is for the men's formal wear section. El hubby and I were shopping for dress shirts, and the lovely sales men who were working that day were very nice and helpful. They even encouraged him to try on the shirts and not worry about destroying the package thingy. You know, those cardboard and plastic with needles and sh*t that holds the shirt together and makes it looks nice on the table. It must be a pain to put them back together but they didn't seem to mind. El hubby wished they had more selection of slim fit in his size though. Most of the shirts were regular fit. We ended up buying 2 shirts and a pack of socks and even got a $10 off discount for reaching $50 and over! Cool! Oh and the day we went, I we met Laurence Martin from the reality show Baggage Battles on Travel Channel. You probably don't care, but I do. I love that show lol. read more

I like this jcpenny better than the one in Carson mall it always seems to be a bit more organized especially in the kids section. I went in to exchange some shirts for my niece and left with most of their clearance section. Everything in the clearance section was no more than $5. I even bought my 3 year old godson the cutest pink Floyd shirt for .97. read more

JCPenney - Used this today 11/6 not sure when it expires - Department Stores Near Me - Torrance, California

So they have those new ads saying that JCPenny would no longer have those gimmicky ads or early bird sales and what not. Since I was out looking for a bday gift for my dad I thought I'd give JCP a whirl. They had a sign explaining the three different price tags and what they meant, one was for everyday price, another for what was on sale for that month and the third was for clothes that are marked on sale every Friday, and it only while supplies lasted. I thought that was pretty straightforward and it was like, hey thanks JCP, no sales tomfoolery from you! I found a nice shirt, shorts and set of pj's for my dad for like 50 bucks, and was pretty pleased. The store was clean and pretty organized (albeit it was on a weekday at like 3:00 pm), and I like that they have a small Sephora store inside. I don't shop there for myself, but for I'd definitely come back, for mom and dad gifts. read more

I go to the salon to get my hair done. They really value their customers here and do the job done!!! Worth going there when you get the chance! read more

Worse place ever They start with a client take photos and then make you wait while they take photos of someone else instead of finishing with the client they started with Bad way to do business I will never go back to a place that doesn't respect other people's time and money read more

I typically don't shop at JCPenney because I'm not really a high end department store shopper. But I found myself here with family because my niece just had photos taken upstairs and we wanted to do a couple things. First, pick up her developed photos, and to buy a princess dress similar to the one she tried on/ fell in love with, during her photo shoot. We went straight for the kids section which is located down stair and on our way there we stopped by the dog toy section. I have to admit, I wouldn't consider buying dog toys at a place that doesn't specialize in animal products but the toys looked so darn cute and they were reasonably priced. It was a 5 piece set for $10. We couldn't say no to that. Moving on to the children's play dresses. Let me just fast forward and say after shopping around my niece found the yellow Bella dress she wanted, she tried it on and she was sold. To our surprise, the dress that retailed for $30 was on sale for $15. What a nice surprise! On a side note, I did see a lot of signage of a deal that said: "Buy one, get the other for 1 cent". I almost did a bit of shopping myself haha. Overall, for someone that doesn't typically shop at JCPenny, I had a very good experience. read more

This is the worst store to do any business with they are the most incompetent employees in the retail business. Will never give my hard earned money to you any longer. Will make sure I send a negative review to the better business bureau. No wonder Amazon is taking all your business. Good luck on staying in business it's only a matter of time. read more

I've been there and ordered/bought stuff a few times, workers are beyond helpful. Hard to find in a retail environment nowadays. Still like the brick and mortar businesses. I like to touch it, smell it, lick it.. read more

The store was busy and they had lots of different items on sale. The store was a little messy and needed to be put back together. The clothing looked cute but I was looking for a pair of shoes and I found them but not in the correct size. read more

PORTRAIT STUDIO TEN STARS! My husband and I came today for wedding announcement pictures made an appointment for 11:30 am. We arrived about 10 minutes early sat down, while both ladies were busy with other customers and as soon as one was free, she came over and said hello to us and checked us in. 11:30 photographer, Julia was ready for us, she was so friendly, professional, she customized signs ex: wedding date for our pictures, she didn't rush at all even though there were other customers waiting, she was on schedule and it seems each photo session is 15 minutes and that is exactly how long she took with us. Then we waited about 10 minutes for our pictures to upload and then Sevina showed us our pictures, showed us different collages, backgrounds we can pick and even did black/white pictures. No pressure at all to buy packages or upgrade coupons. She was also very helpful and friendly :) :) This our 3rd time at this studio and we always have a pleasant experience but this time was even more pleasant thanks to Julia and Sevina. read more

This review is for the photo studio. It was our first time taking any "professional" family photos and our 8 month old's first Christmas so I wanted to do something special and take Christmas photos. Upon arrival we checked in and they told us to pick our backgrounds. I told them we wanted Christmas photos so they gave us 1 backdrop option for that and the other was a plain wooden backdrop. As we waited for our turn I went to the dressing room to check my makeup & when I came out daddy & baby were already inside the photo room. As soon I entered the room one of the two girls directed me to stand on the red dot on the floor and started snapping away. I was caught off guard. The girls don't give any direction whatsoever on how to pose or add any creative or aesthetic input into the shoot. We just stood there. I had to step in and give ideas on how to pose, props to use for my baby (which are useless). They had a small wooden slowflake which was not noticeable and an ugly black present with no bow. The photos came out terrible, we look awkward & uncomfortable and the floor is visibly dirty. The photographer (Amy) and other employee in the photo room need to give direction to people especially when they aren't used to having photos taken of them. Not just tell them to stand on the red dot. These are supposed to be special moments for families and if you don't know how to capture that then please find another job. They charge a $15 sitting fee per person including the baby. By the end I was told our Christmas photos wouldn't be ready until after New Years & if we wanted them we should've booked before Dec 20th. How about telling customers that beforehand? That would be nice and considerate. Do not waste your precious time or money here. read more
