– reported by The Pasadena Citizen
Hundreds of people turned out early Friday morning for the Grand Opening celebration at the new JC Penney’s store in the Fairmont Center on Fairmont Parkway.
People in line expressed their eagerness to get, and their excitement at the opportunity to obtain a $10 coupon and goodie bags that were given out to the first 500 in line.
Many were in line hours before the store officially opened at 9 a.m.

The new store is a one-story building that is over 99,000 square feet and will implement a new concept because it is a free standing store. It will offer men, women and kids’ apparel, shoes, home items, jewelry, a full-service salon, portrait studio, custom decorating studio and catalog services.
JC Penney’s is continuing to grow and will open 150 new stores in the next three years.
The 150 employees will look forward to serving the community of Pasadena on Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

As reported by Hispanic Business:
The store, called Mi Tienda or “my store,” opened in Pasadena on Wednesday. It’s a 63,000-square-foot remodeled store featuring Mexican decor like papel picado, talavera tile, and food appealing to Hispanics. It also has a large patio for dining and entertainment.
The store features 20 varieties of aguas frescas and a restaurant serving Mexican and Cuban-style foods, as well as a carniceria, panaderia, pescaderia and cremeria (or meat market, bakery, fish market and dairy store).
Employees wear nametags that include their birthplaces, and managers wear traditional guayaberas.
I’ve driven by this store a few times. It’s packed to the rafters. No parking available. Lots of people.
I think I’ll wait until the hype dies down a little to visit the inside.
