New Penney CEO under pressure after same-store sales flop
November 15, 2018
Jill Soltau only became J.C. Penney’s CEO a month ago. Now, she and her team are trying to figure out how to fix the department store chain as quickly as possible following a third-quarter in which Penney reported a same-store sales decline of 5.4 percent and a loss of $151 million. Penney has suspended its previous annual guidance while the new team under Ms. Soltau has time to “assess and address current and go-forward execution of the business.”
