JCPenney has attempted to bounce back from the damaging strategies it took on during ex-CEO Ron Johnson’s reign. But first, they want to say they’re sorry. In JCPenney’s recent apology ad, they begged customers to “come back” to their stores. In this admirably honest, new commercial, which is a first glimpse from JCPenney’s new lead
