  • According to JCPenney’s official website, there are “approximately 850” remaining locations, but the company announced a list of 154 stores closing on June 6, 2020 in the wake of their Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in May 2020. (This was revised and is now 152 stores).
  • On June 23, 2020, it was announced another 13 stores will close.
  • On July 7, 2020, it was announced two New York stores will close, one already permanently.
  • On July 10, 2020, local press in the Pittsburgh area reported that the Monroeville, PA and Monaca, PA that were originally slated to close are now going to remain open.
  • On July 14, 2020, it was reported three Louisiana locations slated to close are now staying open: Lafayette’s Acadiana Mall location, Metairie, and Shreveport.
  • On August 5, 2020, it was announced the iconic Century III Mall location in West Mifflin, Pennsylvania would be closing.
