JCPenney Announces Launch of American Living, Exclusive Lifestyle Brand
American Living Offers Classic Style and Impeccable Quality at Smart Prices
Largest Merchandise Launch in JCPenney's History -- Spanning 40 Categories of Merchandise for America's Families and Home
PLANO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 20, 2008--J. C. Penney Company, Inc. (NYSE: JCP) today announced the launch of American Living, a new, comprehensive lifestyle brand created exclusively for JCPenney's classic traditional lifestyle customer by Global Brand Concepts, a division of Polo Ralph Lauren.
The largest brand launch in JCPenney's history, the American Living collection includes a full range of apparel for women, men and children, along with footwear, accessories and home furnishings and textiles. Beginning this month, American Living merchandise can be found across JCPenney's integrated shopping channels - in nearly 600 stores, online at jcp.com and catalog.
"American Living truly differentiates JCPenney in the retail marketplace. Nowhere else but JCPenney will customers find this level of updated classic style and impeccable quality at such a smart price," said Myron E. (Mike) Ullman, III, chairman and chief executive officer of JCPenney. "During the past year, hundreds of our Associates have been involved in bringing American Living to life at JCPenney in partnership with Global Brand Concepts. Through their efforts, 40 merchandise categories will be offered to our customers."
Roger Farah, president and chief operating officer of Polo Ralph Lauren, said, "American Living is a unique lifestyle brand that we believe will capture the attention and loyalty of the JCPenney customer now and into the future."
The American Living Collection:
American Living offers stylish fashions for work and weekend, as well as warm and inviting home decor. Along with the classic polo, key items in each department include cable knit sweaters and cotton sundresses in Women's, pinpoint button-downs and sport coats in Men's, khaki pants in Boy's and polo dresses in Girl's. Accessories feature handbags and belts while footwear includes both dress and casual styles. Home features updated styles on classic pieces and includes five bedding collections, bath accessories, window treatments and luggage. American Living, which will form the core of JCPenney's "Best" price offering, will be expanded in coming seasons to include Young Men's, Newborn, Infant and Toddler, intimate apparel, Women's swimwear, fashion jewelry, tabletop, furniture and more.
A Special Home for an Exceptional New Brand:
Emulating an authentic, country store feel, beginning today, American Living merchandise can be found on distinctive white, wooden fixtures across numerous departments of nearly 600 JCPenney stores.
Additionally, three JCPenney stores - Glendale, Calif., Paramus, NJ, and Montrose, Co. - feature American Living "shops," a designated "store-within-a-store" presentation similar to the Company's Sephora Inside JCPenney concept. These "shops" bring cross divisional merchandise statements together, including all apparel and home products among others, into one location, allowing for a true showcase of the full lifestyle offering of American Living. Moving forward, most new stores - beginning with openings in March - will feature American Living merchandise in a similar in-store presentation.
To celebrate the launch of American Living, store customers will be greeted by store Associates wearing red American Living polos, be treated to special American Living shopping bags and be able to view the American Living broadcast commercials on the screens of the stores' customer-facing, point-of-sale terminals.
jcp.com will also feature a special American Living tab in its global navigation taking users to the American Living online store. Serving as a "store-within-a-store," the new American Living section of jcp.com will include all American Living merchandise. Additionally, through jcp.com access on all point-of-sale registers, store Associates at any JCPenney store will be able to assist customers in purchasing American Living merchandise.
JCPenney Launches New American Living Marketing Campaign
As the largest brand launch in Company history, American Living will be supported with unprecedented levels of marketing. JCPenney will introduce American Living on Sunday, Feb. 24, to the more than 40 million viewers of the Academy Awards. Created by Global Brand Concepts and directed by renowned American photographer and filmmaker Bruce Weber, the ads will include a 60 sec. anthem spot, as well as additional 30 sec. spots featuring men's, women's and home merchandise from the collection.
"American Living epitomizes what JCPenney is all about. It elevates the JCPenney brand and supports the idea that 'Every Day Matters' - it's all about enhancing the quality of life for our customers, allowing them to have something truly aspirational at a smart price," said Mike Boylson, chief merchandising officer for JCPenney. "Our new campaign is an invitation for customers to experience American Living - a new reason to shop JCPenney - and discover all that we have to offer."
From baseball, picnics, and trips to the beach to tractors, pick-up trucks and life on the farm, the new campaign brings the aspiration of American Living to life by capturing the little, every day moments of American culture. The campaign's broadcast commercials further celebrate the American spirit through the vocal collaboration of rock legend and former Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant and 21-time Grammy-award winner, country-bluegrass queen Alison Krauss with the song "Killing the Blues" from their new album, Raising Sand. The 60 sec. American Living anthem spot will also air throughout the spring during previews for PG and PG-13 movies in cinemas across the country. Following the Academy Awards, viewers can expect to see the ads air over the next few weeks on top prime and cable television programming.
American Living will be introduced to JCPenney's Hispanic customers when the ads air Feb. 21 on the country's leading Spanish-language television network, Univision, during JCPenney's exclusive retail sponsorship of Premio lo Nuestro a la Musica Latina, the longest-running and most popular award show for the U.S. Hispanic audience.
The launch of American Living will also be supported by a strategic e-mail campaign, as well as direct mail, specialty catalogs and weekly sales circulars. A special sitelet, www.americanliving.com, will introduce customers to American Living and include the American Living ads and links to the American Living "shop" on jcp.com. Print advertisements, reaching more than 120 million readers, will also launch in April in select national magazines and newspapers.

I need $1.00 to break even. Are we going to
see that ???? probably not.
hate to say I told ya so
0.0219 (+21,900.00%)and I am still in the hole !
Like I said guys ...get ready for the downward spiral...
This stock is like LIMBO ..."How Low Can It GO ??" lol
now my 26 million pre split shares are worth $500.00
do the math on that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you are going to sell they WILL get them cheap. There are no bids above .10 probably never will be.
BID 0.014 x10,000 ASK 0.09 x5,000
DOWN WE GO FELLAS.. DOUG WILL WASH OUT ALL THE SHAREHOLDERS..
ONLY HIS PARTNERS AND FRIENDS WILL WIN.
ETRADE SHOWS THE SHARE QUANTITY RIGHT BUT THE LAST PRICE IS STILL .0001 PUTTING MY BALANCE FURTHER IN THE HOLE.
LIKE I SAID FELLAS HE COULD DO A 1-1000000 FORWARD SPLIT AND THE SHARES WILL STILL BE WORTH 0.
MY BET IS HE ANNOUNCES PLANS TO GET FINICIALS IN ORDER TO BE A FULLY REPORTING COMPANY AND GET OFF THE PINK SHEETS.
THAT WOULD BE A CLASSIC PINK SHEET RIP OFF MOVE...SHOULD BE THE NEXT STEP TO PUMP SHARES, UNLESS WE GET SUBSTANTIAL NEWS SOON ...IN MY OPINION.
shares not settled yet ??? is that why no volume.
etrade shows the new symbol but I still have my same
24 mil shares. ???
Either way shares are still worth 0 and not trading.
We are all still in the same boat as before.
We need some news here on what is going on.
so guys I did the math ....
On Dougs share disclosure today ...we learned that before the split when we thought we owned a large part of the float...
there were actually 4.1 million post split .....
410 billion pre split in the float ????
13 zillion issued pre split ??? what comes after billion ???
13.8 million issued pre split x 1000
4.1 million float x 1000
Is my math wrong or were we hugely diluted beyond imagination.
And Grummand ...like the moderator of this stock would take alot of time ??? No one owns it this stock ...no one wants it ... no one cares...easy job !!
NEWS NEWS NEWS !!!!!!!!!!!!
(OR LACK THERE OF ! LOL )

I show RLAB shares at etrade but the amount of shares are the same. Who knows where this goes from here....Anyone want to be moderator is welcome. I could no longer be a positive part of this pityful position.
While not necessarily a bad thing, a R/S is a popular method that bad penny stock companies use to continue raising capital through dilution. 'Dilution', if done enough, will eventually leave a stock virtually worthless. The price may go as low as .0001 dollars, the minimum that stocks are tradable by common investors. At this point the company can no longer effectively raise capital by selling more shares.
By performing an R/S, the number of shares on the market decrease, and the price increases back to a "dilutable" level. The dilution starts again, and the cycle can continue over and over. Because of this, a black cloud is associated with the R/S. They normally result in a large selloff by remaining shareholders, causing the price to plummet, and the shareholder value to follow suit.
A reverse split is very rarely an opportunity for a safe investment, and certainly not a wise choice for a beginner in penny stocks. To protect yourself from purchasing the stock of a company with a history of abusive reverse splits, check out this iHub board and scan through the list.
maybe we will get news to move the stock even with the reverse split...could be a way to try to get out of the cellar...But I got a bad feeling.
Damn it to heck !!! We are screwed.
We all knew this was coming !
Heard OBAMA picking Doug for Vice President.
You heard it here first !
Said he wants someone who knows how to keep his mouth shut !
lol lol
No one knows anything and many of us have questions and concerns.
So far we have no answers and the future of Billy Martins is an unsolved mystery.
he has no info just like all of us. Totally in the dark.
I wonder if anyone but Doug has a clue what is/is not going on with this company.I am really frustrated with it all personally.
I feel like I am in a bad marriage and my wife keeps lying to me !
I want a divorce ! lol
Anyone know ANYTHING ????
CONFIDENCE CRISIS...I agree that Doug has promised a lot and has yet to deliver anything. It is strange that in one year there has not been a solid thing and losing the LA store was a disaster as it provided cash flow. Why is everything on hold?? Can Doug really close on a deal and make something happen? If something does not get done soon, how can we ever believe in this company.
POSTED BY MEANSTREETDUDE
I AGREE. BEST STATEMENT ON THIS BOARD IN A WHILE.
ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ???
See I aint missed crap today, shame.
Doug hiding with Waldo ???
Where's the big news ??? The thrill is gone.
You guys think all penny stocks are as crappy as this one has been ??? at least there is a pump and dump every now and then to spice things up. This is a dead dog.
Ok guys I have to say it ....
I have little hope of this stock turning around.
Look at the history. Anyone who has been in this stock as long as I have knows that absolutely nothing has happened.
Deals come and go but nothing is ever followed through.
This company stock is not going anywhere.
The quicker we all face it ..the better.
In my opinion ( which is accurate until proved otherwise)
By the way ...the email address at the Real American Brands website ??? Who is that for. It says for info but I have emailed continuously and have received no response. NOTHING.
Glad I am not a possible future partner for RABR products...
I would be ANOTHER missed opportunity.
I think Doug might be here ! I am not
ruining my mind here...that's what alcohol is for ! lol
I dreamed last night that Doug gave us news.
Boy I must have been on drugs.
So far we have been fed nothing but his dreams.
all BS so far I might add.
IT HAS BEEN A MONTH>>>>HOW LONG IS " SOON " ?????
I am sick of seeing NO BID.
CAN WE GET A PR ON AT LEAST ONE COMPLETED DEAL ????
IS IT THAT HARD DOUG ????
Someone buying today..maybe news coming.
Almost a month now since name change. Guys ...
keep an eye out for filings for a reverse split. I got a bad feeling.
ANYone want a count of shares instead of losses. Might be more useful to determine our power.
I have 27,000,000 and I know some here have much more.
How about it fellas...let's get a count !
Dang..we have all lost big here !!!
Doug ???? Mcfly ???? SOS SOS SOS SOS...
Beam me up Scotty !
DOUG ...WE ARE STILL WAITING.
$28,000 her grumm
Our New Blue Jean Spokesperson and Model !http://www.flickr.com/photos/angeleyesphotography/60271700/
lol lol
I agree no personal attacks please.
Unless they are about Doug !! HA
I agree he probably keeps an eye on the board to get an idea of shareholder frustrations but what is he going to do about it is the question ???
Hopefully we will get news this month and BIG news. If not I sense another big smokescreen from Doug again.
I think Doug could be on to something BIG but I have been wrong before too. maybe I am too trusting ! lol He sounds like an honest person to talk to him anyway.
No one ever explained to me ....
their theory on all the very small trades every day here.
61,222 traded today. Shows up on Etrade as volume but dont show up on the Level 2 screen at IHUB.
It is usually around 40,000 shares. either way too little to even bother with time you pay commissions.
Any one with any ideas please post them.
Maybe Microsoft will take US over ! lol
I think us longs are the NUTS here ! lol
Fashion week in New York. Guess we wont hear a think like the LA fashion week when we had no news !!
Billy Martin's USA in Negotiations for New Denim Line
Billy Martin's USA, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: BLYM) is currently in negotiations with a well-established western lifestyle company for licensing the Billy Martin's brand for a new line of premium denim products.
"We believe a Billy Martin's-branded line of jeans and denims made available through an established company with historical roots in the western lifestyle market niche will appeal to an expanding market segment. And we believe we can help expand the jean/denim premium market segment, with our 28 years of brand equity; flagship store representation in New York and Hollywood; established visuals and imagery; and an established customer base with star-power testimonials," said Doug Newton, CEO.
Premium Denim Market Rapidly Expanding
-- According to the research firm, NPD Group, denim sales reached a
whopping $15.26 billion in 2005, with jeans priced $80 and up rising 27.7%
to $335.4 million.
-- "Some market researchers believe the higher end market expansion is
being driven in part by the baby boom generation, which grew up wearing
jeans and will most likely want to wear them for the duration," said
Newton.
Manufacturers Search for Western Authenticity
"Billy Martin's jeans will reflect what we believe is the best representation of our western heritage and do so in an authentic fashion. Many of the top premium brands today try to reflect a product with a 'western flair.' In recent years," Newton said "there has been an explosion of designers developing American-inspired apparel, primarily high-end premium jeans, with each trying to distinguish itself from others.
"The higher the price, the more critical is the need to give customers their money's worth. Some of the hottest, most expensive denim lines -- True Religion, Antik, Joe's Jeans, Citizens for Humanity -- carry embellishments reminiscent of 'western' or cowboy boots stitch patterns. Yet few, if any, of the premium brands have an authenticity or connection to the western lifestyle heritage which seemingly inspired them," Newton concluded.
THIS WAS 7 MONTHS AGO
And we hope to announce an exciting new association soon giving us the opportunity to own and market many new products in both the wholesale and retail arenas, in distribution outlets across America and beyond."
With Doug "soon" could be anywhere from 2 months to NEVER.
Doug needs to get off his butt and give us news.
Marketwire PR's are not that expensive.
I am tired of hearing promises.
Time for Action.
I cant figure this out ....
every day we have a small trade of shares and
they show up in volume but not on level 2 here.
any ideas ???
52,139 traded this am. Not even worth the brokerage fees.
I am confused.
Very Funny ! Great job of research ! lol
What is not funny is all we have got so far is
SSSSSSSHHHHHHHT !!!!
