JCPenney To Close 154 Locations, See If Your Local Store Is On The List

JCPenney announced that they will be closing 154 stores this summer. The retailer recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection after the coronavirus pandemic forced them to temporarily close stores.
The company has reopened about 500 stores around the country as state officials have lifted restrictions that forced most retailers to close. They said they plan to keep about 600 stores open and will announce additional closures in the coming weeks.
"While closing stores is always an extremely difficult decision, our store optimization strategy is vital to ensuring we emerge from both Chapter 11 and the COVID-19 pandemic as a stronger retailer with greater financial flexibility to allow us to continue serving our loyal customers for decades to come," said Jill Soltau, chief executive officer of JCPenney, in a statement.
As soon as a bankruptcy judge signs off on the plan, stores will begin holding going-out-of-business sales, which are expected to last for three to four months.
Ohio and California will see the most closures with nine apiece.
