Nearly a month after announcing it would be shutting down dozens of stores, JCPenney on Friday released the full list of 138 locations it will close within the next few months.
Four JCPenney locations in California are on the list: The Village at Orange, in Orange; Sunwest Plaza in Lodi; Hilltop Mall in Richmond; and a freestanding store in downtown Bishop.
Most of the store closures will occur in June, with the liquidation process affecting many stores beginning on April 17, the company announced on its website.
About 5,000 workers will be impacted nationwide.
JCPenney issued a statement:
“As part of a continuing effort to advance sustainable growth and long-term profitability, J. C. Penney Company, Inc. will be closing 138 stores, one supply chain facility in Lakeland, Fla., and relocating one supply chain facility in Buena Park, Calif., to align the Company’s physical store footprint and omnichannel network.”
In February, the retailer said it would close between 130 and 140 stores in a bid to “optimize” retail operations.
“We believe closing stores will also allow us to adjust our business to effectively compete against the growing threat of online retailer,” Marvin R. Ellison, chairman and CEO, said in February. “Maintaining a large store base gives us a competitive advantage in the evolving retail landscape since our physical stores are a destination for personalized beauty offerings, a broad array of special sizes, affordable private brands and quality home goods and services.”
