J.C. Penney in Statesboro Mall listed for Closure This Summer

J.C. Penney in the Statesboro Mall is one of first 154 locations the company is planning to close permanently according to bankruptcy court filings on Thursday.  They are planning to close 242 locations total.  This will leave approximately 600 locations open.

The department store chain is the largest company to file for bankruptcy protection so far during the coronavirus pandemic.

Bankruptcy Judge David Jones is expected to hold a hearing on June 11th to consider the proposal. Assuming he signs off, going-out-of-business sales could begin immediately.

Employees of the Statesboro store were notified to return back to work on June 12th.  They will be returning to begin liquidating the store.  This is assuming the Judge approves the company’s proposal for liquidations.

Liquidation of the stores is expected to last 10 to 16 weeks.

“While closing stores is always an extremely difficult decision, our store optimization strategy is vital to ensuring we emerge from both Chapter 11 and the COVID-19 pandemic as a stronger retailer with greater financial flexibility to allow us to continue serving our loyal customers for decades to come,” J.C. Penney CEO Jill Soltau said in a statement.
