November 9, 2022 – Just months after temporarily closing its doors following severe damage from Hurricane Ian, JCPenney store #1862 in Fort Myers, Florida will be opening its doors again for customers to shop this holiday season. Hurricane Ian left behind miles of devastation throughout the state and significant damage to the Fort Myers store; roof, celling, floors and nearly 30,000 units of product.
In preparation for its reopening, JCPenney is looking to hire several seasonal, full-time and part-time positions between Fort Myers, Port Charlotte and Naples, Florida.
JCPenney’s incentives make the Company stand out against other retailers, including competitive pay, flexible schedules and a generous employee discount. JCPenney offers benefits for all positions based on hours worked, career advancement opportunities and an inclusive team environment.
