J. C. Penny is making a fresh start this new year, now under the leadership of CEO Ron Johnson, Apple’s former Senior Vice President of Retail Operations and pioneer of Apple’s retail stores and The Genius Bar.  And I must say, this is a mighty nice piece of marketing.  He’s gotten my attention and it looks like he’s headed in the right direction.
