Which means JC Penney, Sears, K-Mart, BestBuy, Macys, and other traditional retailers had better get their online operations up-to-speed – and fast – before they completely go down the toilet

It's a shame but Sears and Kmart along with JCPenney are dead men walking.

love Wally World because i can buy American-made goods by shopping selectively, unlike others

Hope it's not the one near me. Hate shopping on line. I like to see what I'm buying in person. Hate Walmart

The only JCP store in the Lehigh Valley is located right here at the Lehigh Valley Mall in Whitehall Township. There is also a store at Stroud Mall in Monroe County and Montgomery Mall in North Wales, Montgomery County. As of now, we do not... — read more 

Is the plan to close this store just like 140 others. This was announced today. What will happen to all folks who work here? It'll be a huge hit for our community. I hope you keep our store open.

Anyone has more info on this - is this store shortlisted for closures? Please post.

Everyone is quick to claim this is driven by online shopping but the core of what JCP (and Sears) sells are not really online items. Clothing, bath & housewares are likely not big online sales areas. Some of these items that are online are still... — read more 

I enjoy shopping online as much as the next person. But, there is going to be a day where we can not actually go to a store and touch and/or feel something. I think we're going to miss this more than we realize.

I am the only person employed in my household, and this job is important to me. I hear that we may be closing many stores in North Carolina, but I was hoping that Raleigh may stay open. DO YOU KNOW IF RALEIGH WILL BE CLOSED SOON? Let me know... — read more 

All stores like JCP will close soon. One exception is B & H Photo.. They are an old time brick and mortar store that got onto Al Gore's first invention (the Internet) early on and have a thriving business at the store and online. They are also VERY... — read more 

When is this JCP store closing in Auburn and if they do, are they going to have a massive sale? I think they are having major issues there, there is not enough merchandise.

I am curious if you have info what the plan is on closing this tore in Eau Claire? I heard they will close 140 stores, now, are they gonna close this one.

This one is still open in Kokomo but brick & mortars are dropping like flies. The Amazons and Walmart.com flew in under their radar - never realizing the threat - while they kept their same pricing structure and policies. The internet was just... — read more 

Yes, stores are closing and please do not tell me you are surprised. And this goes beyond JC Penney’s store closings that got announced today. If you’ve been following what was going on in retail over last 20 years, the number of stores that closed... — read more 

C. Penney will close over 130 stores (probably 140) and they will let go 6000 people, things are really bad right now. People are buying niche, people are buying online and JCP never adopted to this new model. I think things will get much more bad... — read more 

I hate seeing JC Penney on its knees. They closed a lot of stores last year, and will close another 140 this year. I hope this one in Pinecrest stays.

JC Penney is closing another 140 stores this spring. Does anyone have a full list of stores to be closed?

here it is: http://fortune.com/2017/01/12/jcpenney-stores-closures/

Do you know why this happens? It was on the news. JCP is closing it for sure

I hope they survive

Not sure if this one will be closing - it's in N. Conway store - it's a good location but they do not have deals like they use to have and it feels like the company will go BK soon - JCPenney went from being a premium shopping location to just... — read more 

That's what I heard - is this true and if yes, when is the closure gonna happen and how long they will be liquidating merchandise.

Are they closing any store in NY?

I think 2017 will be the year of big closures for JC Penney - I really doubt that the corporation will have any stores open in 2018

In Arizona
