Oklahoma Baptist University (OBU) students and community members have an exciting opportunity to upgrade their professional wardrobes at an exclusive JCPenney Suit-Up event on Sunday, February 23, from 3 to 6 p.m. at the JCPenney store in Quail Springs Mall.
Attendees will receive an extra 30% off select professional attire during this special event. This discount applies to sale items, making it an excellent opportunity to invest in work-ready clothing at an even lower cost. However, clearance items are not included in the promotion. A wide selection of clothing and accessories suitable for career fairs, job interviews, and internships will be available.
For those who prefer shopping online, the discount is also accessible by texting OKBU to 67292 for a 30% off coupon. Please note that scrubs are available for online purchase only. Additionally, JCPenney will be distributing coupons at the event, which can be used for online shopping after the event. These coupons will have an expiration date, so attendees are encouraged to use them promptly.
