Retail for All: Ensuring an Accessible Experience at JCPenney

JCPenney is a well-known department store offering a wide range of products, but how accessible is it for all shoppers, particularly those who use wheelchairs? Getting to the store is straightforward, with plenty of accessible parking available. However, the entrance features manual doors that can pose a challenge for those who require assistance. Inside, the store is big and spacious, making it easy to navigate with a wheelchair. The layout is designed to allow for smooth maneuvering, and most items are within reach. Unfortunately, the lack of staff presence can make it difficult to get help when needed.


Personal Experience

Recently, my brother and I decided to wander into JCPenney to see what they had on offer. Upon arriving, we encountered the manual doors, but thankfully my brother was there to assist me. Once inside, we strolled around the store to kill some time, impressed by the vast selection available. Despite the spacious aisles making it easy to navigate, we had a question about a specific item and found it frustrating that there was little staff available to assist us. After searching for help and not being able to find anyone, we ultimately decided to leave without making a purchase.


Final Rating: 3 out of 5

While JCPenney offers a spacious layout and a wide variety of products, the manual doors and lack of readily available staff detracted from our overall experience. The store earns a 3 out of 5 rating for accessibility. Improvements in staff presence would significantly enhance the shopping experience for everyone.
