Ron Johnson’s popping up everywhere lately, from the Piers Morgan show on CNN to this great Q&A with Bloomberg BusinessWeek. And, you can’t say the CEO of Plano-based J.C. Penney isn’t thinking big.

Johnson also tells how he thinks wider aisles, all-new mannequins (55,000 of them!) and “retraining” the customer will help save the venerable department store.
