JCPenney store closures: 7 locations shuttering May 25. Here's where

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Seven JCPenney stores spread across the country will close their doors for good this weekend.

The latest JCPenney closures, which were first announced in February, come after more than 200 U.S. locations shuttered when the retailer filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in May 2020. The chain was later acquired by Simon Property Group and Brookfield Asset Management Inc. in December 2020.

In January, JCPenney announced it had partnered with Forever 21 to create a new company called Catalyst Brands. The merger also includes Brooks Brothers, Aéropostale, Lucky Brand, Nautica and Eddie Bauer. Catalyst Brands was expected to open 1,800 store locations and hire 60,000 employees. A JCPenney spokesperson previously told USA TODAY that the store closures are not related to the Catalyst Brand merger.

1. Our JCPenney store

was the last anchor to depart our mall. It had held out long after the departure of Ward's, Sears and Macy's; also gone were the Hallmark store, Kinney Shoes, and Foot Locker, along with Zales and other jewelers and a Safeway store just off the end of the mall. By the time Penney's closed the long-empty Sears and Ward's buildings had been razed. What had once been a vibrant shopping experience that proudly boasted a number of unique, locally owned shops had become a dusty, empty shell that invited gangs. The upside is that the empty Penney's space is now home to the Habitat ReStore.
