Full List of JCPENNEY -stores’ closures across 8 states

On By Littum

JCPENNEY has announced plans to shoot more stores over the next few months and emphasize the ongoing downturn in the US retail sector.

The Department Store chain confirmed to Axios that it would close another eight locations in 2025 – of its more than 650 existing locations – after one year characterized by similar consolidations.

Newsweek Contacted JCPENNEY for comment via E -mail for regular hours.

Why it matters

Physical retail stores have continued to feel the effects of the pandemic, changing consumer habits and the growing dominance of e-commerce. Described by some as a “retail-apocalypse”, many traditional brick-and-mortar companies have shodded after not adapting to these developing market dynamics.

According to Coresight Research, an estimated 15,000 stores are expected to close by 2025, from 7,325 last year. Meanwhile, the number of new store openings is expected to fall from 5,970 to 5,800.

Well -known retailers have announced store consolidations, closures and even bankruptcies due to the retail sector’s falling views, including Kohl’s, Bargain Hunt and Big Lots. Other big names – such as Walgreens, Macy’s and Starbucks – are also preparing to reduce their physical retail room throughout the year.

What people say

JCPENNEY Axios told the store closures were not associated with his recent merger with SPARC, a store operator. The two companies announced the combination in January, where they brought their portfolios under the common catalysic dormant.

After the release of the company’s results in the third quarter of December, Globaldata CEO Neil Saunders Said to Retail Dive: “There are some good things happening at JCPENNEY and the management is trying to move the business forward, but it all feels like they are trying to run a quick escalator right now and progress is very limited.”

What happens next

Since JCPENNEY filed Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection in May 2020, its store number has shrunk from approx. 850 to approx. 650.

However, the company is optimistic with regard to the prospect of the SPARC merger. Despite less than major financial results in the last few months, CEO Marc Rosen said the merger would allow the couple to “exploit our resources and best talent for industry in class to grow our brands further.”
