Later in 1907, the other two partners dissolved their partnership, after which Penney gained authority over all the stores. By 1912, James operated 34 stores, in the Rocky Mountain States, and by 1913 all these stores were consolidated under the name ‘The JCPenney Company’. It operated in all the 48 states through 1600 stores by the year 1941.
The company witnessed the peak of its growth and success between the period 1960 to 1979. Acquisitions and the Internet stores are the landmarks in the company’s history between 1980 to 1999. The next decade (2000-2009) proved to be another golden era for the company, during which it flourished due to immense growth and success. Currently the company is trying to shore up its growth after the declining it faced in the first half of this decade.
