The beloved American department store chain JCPenney is permanently closing seven of its locations inside malls this month.

The JCPenney stores in seven different US states are in the last weeks of clearance sales before closing their doors on May 25.

JCPenney filed for bankruptcy in May 2020 and announced its plans to shutter more than 200 locations across the US. In December 2020, it was acquired by Simon Property Group and Brookfield Asset Management Inc.

A JCPenney spokesperson said ‘the decision to close a store is never an easy one’, but did not provide a specific reason for the upcoming closures.

‘Isolated closures do happen from time to time due to expiring lease agreements, market changes, or other factors,’ stated the spokesperson.

Here is the list of seven JCPenney stores set to close on May 25:

The Shops at Tanforan – San Bruno, California The Shops At Northfield – Denver, Colorado Pine Ridge Mall – Pocatello, Idaho West Ridge Mall – Topeka, Kansas Fox Run Mall – Newington, New Hampshire Asheville Mall – Asheville, North Carolina Charleston Town Center – Charleston, West Virginia

In February, a JCPenney spokesperson told USA Today that an eight store at Westfield Annapolis Mall in Annapolis, Maryland, was also set to close in mid-2025.
