JCPenney is conducting what a spokesperson called isolated store closures affecting eight locations from Maryland to California through the middle of 2025.
The store closures don’t suggest the company intends to shutter additional stores as it continues on its post-bankruptcy transformation. The spokesperson noted JCPenney has no plans to significantly reduce its store count, but it will continue analyzing its portfolio performance. Individual closures in specific markets might occur from time to time due to expiring lease agreements, market changes and other factors, according to the company.
“Store evaluations and decisions are dynamic,” the JFPenney spokesperson told HomePage News.
The spokesperson added that the closures are unrelated to the recent Catalyst Brands merger, which linked JCPenney and SPARC.
JCPenney slated the store closings for the following locations:
- Westfield Annapolis Mall in Annapolis, MD
- Fox Run Mall in Newington, NH
- Charleston Town Center in Charleston, WV
- West Ridge Mall in Topeka, KS
- The Shops At Northfield in Denver, CO
- The Shops at Tanforan in San Bruno, CA
- Pine Ridge Mall in Pocatello, ID
- Asheville Mall in Asheville, NC
