J.C. Penney Closing More Stores In May — Is Your Location On The List?

J.C. Penney is closing a new total of 18 more stores in May, bringing the total closures of the store to 174. The department store chain was one of the largest retailers to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection when the pandemic hit. At that point, officials said in May 2020 that they planned to close about 29% of its 846 stores.

Since that point, 156 have closed down, and now we’ll have another 18 added to the list by mid-May. The chain did emerge from bankruptcy back in December, though, as it was acquired by mall owners Simon Property Group and Brookfield Asset Management Inc. Since closing more stores, what will this mean for the future of the chain?
