JCPenney

Ownership

JCPenney is owned by Catalyst Brands, a joint venture between Authentic Brands Group, Brookfield Corporation, Shein, and Simon Property Group, since 2025. This is a fully corporate chain with multi-national ownership.

Local Sourcing

For private brand merchandise, JCPenney sources from suppliers that operate in or import from over 30 countries. The company's sourcing organization has eight offices globally aside from its office in Dallas in Shanghai, Hong Kong, Korea, Bangladesh, Guatemala, Pakistan, India, and Taiwan. The supply chain is entirely global.

Community Involvement

The JCPenney Communities Foundation, established in 2001, helps advance the company's commitment through Leader Grants supporting nonprofits in local JCPenney communities including Boys & Girls Clubs, Communities in Schools, and Big Brothers Big Sisters. However, these are national programs with minimal Madison-specific engagement identified.

Local Workforce

JCPenney has an employee rating of 3.4 out of 5 stars based on 13,473 company reviews on Glassdoor. JCPenney pays its employees an average of $14.04 an hour, with hourly pay ranging from $10.07 to $20.36. Reviews are mixed with no clear signal of exceptional conditions.

Revenue Retention

As a large corporate chain owned by national/international entities headquartered in Plano, Texas, virtually all revenue from the Madison location flows out to corporate parent companies rather than remaining in the local community.
