JCPenney store closings across 8 states: See the full list

Legacy retailer JCPenney is closing several stores in the coming months.

Axios was the first to report the closures with the company confirming they are expected to occur by the middle of the year. The chain, which recently merged with SPARC Group, operator of brands such as Aeropostale, Brooks Brothers and Nautica to form Catalyst Brands, does “not have plans to significantly reduce our store count.”

“The decision to close a store is never an easy one, but isolated closures do happen from time to time due to expiring lease agreements, market changes or other factors,” a spokesperson told Axios.

The locations set for closure include:

  • The Shops at Tanforan, 1122 El Camino Real San Bruno, California
  • The Shops at Northfield, 8568 E 49th Avenue,  Denver, Colorado
  • Pine Ridge Mall , 4201 Yellowstone Avenue, Pocatello, Idaho   
  • West Ridge Mall, 1821 SW Wanamaker Road, Topeka, Kansas
  • Annapolis Mall, 1695 Annapolis Mall Road, Annapolis, Maryland        
  • Asheville Mall, 3 S Tunnel Road, Asheville, North Carolina       
  • Mall at Fox Run, 50 Fox Run Road, Newington, New Hampshire           
  • Charleston Town Center, 401 Lee Street, E. Charleston, West Virginia

There are approximately 650 JCPenney stores in the U.S. At its peak, the chain operated more than 2,000 locations across the U.S.
