JOHNSTOWN, Pa. (WJAC) — Just as an announcement from JC Penney comes that it is closing dozens of stores across the country, JC Penney in three area locations announced it is expanding.
Monday, a hiring event was held at the Johnstown galleriaGalleria to help fill 70 hairstylist positions for its DuBois, Altoona and Johnstown stores.
At the hiring event, applicants were also able to learn a few new skills that they'll be able to take with them no matter where the opportunity takes them.
The Galleria's managing company, Zamias, says the expansion is a step forward in the right direction.
Just last week, rumors of the Johnstown Galleria closing its door circulated on social media.
Zamias has shut down that rumor.
“The community is not a dwindling community, it's actually growing. We hope to see more business and industry come in which of course means more jobs, more people,” said cosmetology teacher Nancy Behe. “And of course, you need people that can provide services and this is the way to do it.”
If you are interested in applying but were unable to attend Monday’s event.
You, you can still apply through JC Penney's website.
