JC Penney Store Closures 2020: Locations Closing, Liquidation Sales, And More [Complete List]
JC Penney is closing 154 stores in the first phase of its Chapter 11 bankruptcy restructuring. The retailer will begin liquidating stores in the coming weeks as it looks to eliminate its store portfolio of underperforming locations to focus its attention on e-commerce sales.
Liquidation sales at the 154 stores set to close their doors are expected to be held for 10 to 16 weeks.
Additional store closures will follow as JC Penney announced at the time of its bankruptcy filing that it would be closing 242 stores permanently. A total of 600 stores will reportedly remain under the JC Penney umbrella.
“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,” Jill Soltau, CEO at JC Penney, said in a statement.
JC Penney was forced to close all of its stores because of the coronavirus pandemic in March. The company furloughed the majority of its workforce in April and since reopened nearly 500 locations, where COVID-19 restrictions have been eased.
JC Penney filed for bankruptcy on May 15, entering into a restructuring agreement with its lenders for about 70% of its debt load.
