The company's overhaul kicks off Wednesday with a new look and fewer sales. In the meantime, hard-core couponers will be in their glory.
To kick of its Feb. 1 company overhaul, JCPenney has launched one final wacky, confusing sale complete with awkwardly shaped coupons, math you might find on the SAT exam and a paragraph of fine print along the lines of a car leasing agreement. All this to make the point that the current retail sale-every-day paradigm has got to go, which is exactly what Debra Plate of Tinton Falls thinks. "The only time I come here is when I get coupons," she said at the Monmouth Mall store on Monday, two days before the change over. "Let's face it, their prices are high." The Texas-based department store chain announced last week that it is completely revamping its sale schedule, pricing structure and store layout. Endless racks of clothing, and signs …

DOT says utility relocation to blame
Construction at the intersection of Routes 35 and 36 in Eatontown has hit a speed bump. The New Jersey Department of Transportation, which is running the massive project near Monmouth Mall, said this week that work there will take six months longer than originally projected. The project will realign Route 35, reconfigure traffic at its intersection with Route 36 and add sidewalks. According to DOT spokesman Timothy Greeley, the department recently authorized a schedule extension, which will push the project out to January 2013. The DOT reported only minor delays in October due to utility relocation and said its contractor was rearranging the construction schedule to keep the project moving, even as it waited on utility companies to move …

The promise of a year's worth of free crab legs to the first 100 customers hooked some to get in line early for the restaurant's Dec. 27 opening.
The lure of free Snow crab legs every month for a year was enough to prompt about 18 seafood lovers to camp out overnight to be among the first in line when the new Joe's Crab Shack opened in Eatontown on Tuesday. "This is our biggest opening," said Sicily McCambridge, a senior field marketing manager for the chain. It's the fourth location in New Jersey, with over 120 restaurants nationwide. According to representatives for the funky nationwide seafood chain, patrons began lining up at about 9 on Monday night to be among the first 100 customers on line when doors officially opened the next day and qualifying for vouchers for free Snow crab legs every month for a year. By the time the official ribbon cutting kicked off at 11 a.m. on Dec. …

Patch asked shoppers at the Monmouth Mall what gift they were most excited to give this holiday season.
Patch set up camp at the Monmouth Mall in Eatontown last week to see what gifts shoppers are excited to give this holiday season. From DVDs to four-leaf clovers, folks told us about that special present sitting under their tree this year. But not everyone is busy wrapping gifts: One high school student told us that in the current economy, she was too "broke" to shop this year. Regardless, all the shoppers rushing by us at the mall holding bags indicated that not everyone was in that boat this season.

A 22-year-old man was convicted of animal cruelty charges for running down seagulls in the Monmouth Mall parking lot in October.

One bird was killed and a few others were injured, said Amato. The witnesses, a boyfriend and girlfriend, followed the suspect to the Doubletree Hotel on Hope Road and "cornered him" in the parking lot to get …
