Word on the streets is that JCPenney is closing hundreds of its outlets in the coming weeks. According to media reports, the department store chain, which is popular for selling apparel, jewelry, and beauty products, will join other popular corporations like Macy’s and Best Buy in an "Easter Shopping Blackout.”
As per a report published by The Mirror on April 4, 2025, the reason for the 24-hour closure on April 20, 2025, is so that many of their employees can spend time with family on the Easter holiday. Customers are advised to confirm closing hours with their local store.
However, other businesses like Dollar General, CVS, Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, Walgreens and Home Depot are choosing to stay open on Easter to provide goods and services for last-minute shoppers.
These companies are expected to close on Easter Sunday:
- Target
- Costco
- Aldi
- Sam's Club
- Publix
- JCPenney
- Kohl's
- Macy's
- H-E-B
- Michaels
- Lowe's
- Best Buy
- Marshalls
JCPenney plans to permanently close some of its stores across eight states in 2025, cites expiring leases and market changes as reasons
The popular department chain is downsizing and has planned to close eight of its fashion stores across the United States. According to USA TODAY, a representative of the chain revealed that the decision to close some of their outlets was a difficult one but had to be done as a result of market changes, expiring lease agreements and other factors.
"The decision to close a store is never an easy one,” a retailer representative told USA Today and KTTV-TV in a statement stating that it may be happening due to “expiring lease agreements, market changes, or other factors.”
The representative of the retailer thanked all their faithful customers who had shopped at the affected locations:
"We are grateful to our dedicated associates and the loyal customers who have shopped at these locations. We continue to work to make every dollar count for America's diverse, working families and welcome them to shop at our other JCPenney stores in the area and at JCPenney.com."
