JCPenney Releases List of Stores They’ll Close This Summer
Just three weeks after filing for bankruptcy, JCPenney has announced they'll close 154 stores this summer, across 38 states.
On the company's website Thursday, a statement said,
Following a comprehensive review of our retail footprint, JCPenney made the difficult decision to close 154 stores. We will continue to operate the majority of our stores and our flagship store, jcp.com, to ensure our valued customers continue to have access to the products and brands they need and want.
