    J.C. Penney (JCP) could start setting up Martha Stewart shop-within-a-shops after a judge cleared a path by rejecting an injunction. The ruling is key for the retailer with high-profile, celebrity-tinged shops a lynchpin of Ron Johnson's transformation of the formerly staid department store.

  • Martha Stewart Living stock at high of $37.45 on 2-24-05 now at $2.96 today. Near straight down for seven years. This picture is upside down. If MSO products are so wonderful why is her company one of the worst performers on Wall Street? JCP chart may look very much like the MSO chart in the not so distant future if they keep RJ on.

  • That is absurd. Did you listen to RJ or the PVH CEO regarding the success of the instoremshops? MSO has two issues--her public ckimage and fall from grace and over saturation at the time in Targets, Kmarts,meta. Now, they pulled back.

  • In store shops is nothing new at all. Sears started it 30 years ago with Coldwell Banker, Allstate, etc. Go to Dillards, Go Norstroms, Go to Saks, Go to Macy's, Go to Neiman's, etc. They already have store in store and have had for years and years, they just don' have walls dividing them. What's absurd is that the JCP board turned RJ loose with no testing, I repeat no testing. No retailer is that reckless, except for JCP.
