Many opportunities exist for suppliers of resale merchandise.
Virtually all buying of merchandise for resale through our JCPenney stores and catalog is done through our main buying office located in Plano, Texas. We call this our Home Office. Our buyers have expertise in certain lines of merchandise and serve as major sources of contact between JCPenney and each of its suppliers of merchandise for resale. To give you a better understanding of our retail operation, we give a brief description of our JCPenney stores and catalog operations, a listing of our major categories of merchandise, and a summary of our merchandise buying process. Merchandise Buying Process Minority and women-owned businesses wanting to supply resale merchandise to JCPenney should contact JCPenney's Supplier Diversity Development Department to initiate procedures.
