Yes, store credit cards are generally available even for bad credit. Sometimes you have even better options with unsecured regular credit cards.

Lets assume, your credit score is in hight 500's, then your best bet will be Capital One QuicksilverOne or Capital One Platinum cards

Among store cards JC Penney's is the one that can probably approve you with a score in low 500's.
