SAN BERNARDINO >> J.C. Penney is looking to fill more than 200 new jobs as it prepares to open its Inland Center store.
There will be two special hiring events.
The first event will be from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday through Saturday at the Inland Center Mall, 500 Inland Center Drive.
The second event will be from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Aug. 25-26 at the San Bernardino Employment Development Center at 658 E. Brier Drive.
J.C. Penney will occupy a two-story, 138,000-square-foot anchor spot at Inland Center that was occupied by Gottschalks until that company went out of business in 2009. Macy’s, Forever 21 and Sears occupy the remaining anchor spots at the mall, which has more than 100 specialty stores and restaurants.
“As national retailers are increasingly selective about where and how they choose to expand, we are tremendously pleased that J.C. Penney, a top department store and household name, will be opening at Inland Center,” San Bernardino’s Deputy City Manager Bill Manis said in February in a statement.
Recruiters will seek department supervisors, replenishment and support associates, and commission and noncommission sales associates.
There are also positions for beauty consultants and hair stylists.

J.C. Penney has 1,200 locations, including in Redlands and Rancho Cucamonga, according to its website.
