根据破产保护程序,美国零售连锁企业彭尼百货公司计划永久关闭136家门店,并已经开始在这些门店促销。此举很有可能使已梅西百货公司、科尔士百货公司和Gap等连锁公司雪上加霜。

一个月前,彭尼百货提交了商业计划,根据美国《破产法》第11章寻求保护,以走出破产困境,成为更加精益、运营更好的公司。彭尼百货称,公司计划在2021年前关闭840家门店中的242家,其中包括今年的192家。这些分布在较小市场上的门店,数量虽多,但在破产前仅为公司贡献了18%的营收。

彭尼百货的清算由Gordon Brothers、Hilco Merchant Resources、Great American Group以及Tiger Group负责监督。这4家公司发布的新闻稿透露,根据协议,本来打折就很厉害的彭尼百货,店内所有商品的折扣将高达原价的40%,而珠宝和窗户装饰产品等商品的折扣力度更大。

这些协议会让科尔士和梅西等百货公司同行不好过,因为这些公司受第一季度疫情影响,销量下滑了一半左右,现在还指望把大量滞销商品售出。而家居用品方面,竞争对手Pier 1 Imports也宣布破产清算,还没破产的公司需要打更多折扣与之竞争。

彭尼百货主营服装,因此还可能挤压Gap、Aéropostale和American Eagle Outfitters等间接竞争对手和邻里购物中心;尤其是在这段时间,这些公司也在想方设法卖出价值数亿美元的滞销服装。

理论上,彭尼百货关闭门店,所在区域的竞争对手就可能有机会赢得市场份额。但梅西百货、Gap和科尔士百货的市场份额已经被T.J. Maxx、塔吉特和亚马逊等公司抢占,而这些公司才更有可能因彭尼百货闭店受益。

美国连锁百货西尔斯过去10年关闭上百家门店对彭尼百货和梅西百货没有多大帮助。同理,彭尼百货关闭部分门店,依然在购物中心营业的其他门店也不一定受益。实际上,购物中心里彭尼百货的门店消失了,顾客人数很有可能因此下降,对较低端的购物中心来说更是如此。

即使是彭尼百货闭店,市场份额所得也不会立即被竞争对手夺去,在短期内还会造成对手的利润缩水。巴尼斯纽约精品店在假期破产清算,使诺德斯特龙、萨克斯第五大道精品百货店和尼曼百货的销量受挫。几年前,Sports Authority的破产短暂打击了Dick’s Sporting Goods。

彭尼百货暗示,很快会确定下一批关闭的门店。“少量先前宣布要关闭门店的地点确定工作仍被搁置,等待进一步审查,”公司在周三的博客帖子中指出。(财富中文网)

J.C. Penney has begun clearance sales at 136 of the stores it is planning to close permanently as part of its bankruptcy protection process, liquidations that promise to add to the pain chains that Macy’s, Kohl’s, and Gap are already feeling.

A month ago, Penney filed its business plan to emerge from Chapter 11 protection as a leaner, better-run company, saying it would close 242 of its 840-store fleet by 2021, including 192 this year. Those stores, disproportionately in smaller markets, generated 18% of Penney’s pre-bankruptcy revenue. The list of the stores closing first is here.

Deals at the already discount-heavy department store chain will include storewide discounts of up to 40% off original prices, with things like jewelry and window treatments getting even bigger price cuts, according to a press release from the four companies overseeing the liquidations: Gordon Brothers, Hilco Merchant Resources, Great American Group, and Tiger Group.

Those deals could be painful for rival department stores like Kohl’s and Macy’s as they look to unload much of their own merchandise left unsold during the pandemic that lowered their sales by about half in the first quarter. On the home-goods front, another rival, Pier 1 Imports, is liquidating altogether, meaning even more discounting for the survivors to compete with.

Penney, which is heavily focused on apparel, could also squeeze indirect rivals and mall neighbors like Gap, Aéropostale, and American Eagle Outfitters at a time when they too are grappling with hundreds of millions of dollars worth of unsold clothing.

In theory, these Penney store closings could present an opportunity for rivals to win market share in the areas of the closing stores. But Macy’s, Gap, and Kohl’s are already losing market share to the likes of T.J. Maxx, Target, and Amazon, which are more likely to be the benefactors of Penney closings.

Just like Sears’ hundreds of store closings in the past decade didn’t help Penney or Macy’s much, the Penney shutterings won’t necessarily mean a boon for the stores they will leave behind in the mall. In fact, those malls losing their Penney stores, typically lower-quality malls, will likely see a drop in shopper visits.

And even if the Penney closings do mean market share gains for rivals further down the road, it will pinch margins in the short term. Barneys New York’s liquidation during the holiday season hurt sales at Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Neiman Marcus. A few years ago, the Sports Authority’s demise slammed Dick’s Sporting Goods briefly.

Penney suggested additional closing stores will be identified soon. “A handful of previously announced store closing locations remain on hold pending further review,” the company said in a blog post on Wednesday.
