JC Penney now calls Coweta County home

JCPenney, one of the nation’s largest department stores, is now offering shoppers an easy and exciting way to experience style and quality at smart prices with the grand opening of the JCPenney store at Newnan Crossing, located at 341 Newnan Crossing Bypass in Newnan.

The official grand opening for the new JCPenney in Newnan took place last Friday, marked by a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the store’s main entrance at 9 a.m.

“We look forward to being a part of this beautiful and vibrant community,” said store manager Joseph Perkinson. “With the store's convenient design, great merchandise assortment, and exceptional team of associates, we will provide an outstanding shopping experience for our customers. We’re inviting everyone to come by and celebrate with us!”

As part of the grand opening celebration, the JCPenney Afterschool Fund will contribute grants to the Newnan/Coweta Boys & Girls Club that will allow three local children to participate in enriching after-school programs during the upcoming school year.

The JCPenney Afterschool Fund, a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization, was created by the J. C. Penney Company, Inc. to provide support for safe, fun and educational after-school programs for children across the U.S. The JCPenney Afterschool Fund believes that after-school programs are an important investment in the future of America’s children – our nation’s most valuable resource.

The new JCPenney store, covering approximately 100,000 square feet, is designed in the company’s latest format to make shopping even more convenient and enjoyable. In addition to JCPenney’s tremendous selection of fashionable apparel and home merchandise, customers will experience wider aisles, improved lighting and efficient customer service centers. The new store layout helps shoppers easily locate major brands such as Arizona Jean Co., Chris Madden for JCPenney Home Collection, nicole by Nicole Miller, SouthPole, Worthington, Stafford, W, Bisou-Bisou, Oshkosh, Nike, St. John’s Bay and more.

Reflecting the company’s “It’s All Inside” message, the store also features an all-occasion portrait studio offering each customer innovative, customized portraits, expert in-home custom decorating services and a full-service salon that offers professional hair styling services, facials, pedicures, manicures, waxing and products from leading beauty brands. In addition, customers can place orders or pick up catalog and Internet purchases at the store’s catalog desk.

The 104-year-old retailer has proudly served Georgia since 1924, and the new store in Newnan will contribute approximately 120 jobs to the city’s economy. JCPenney at Newnan Crossing will operate Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
