Overview
- The Westminster Mall location will stay open to shoppers through November 16 and is slated to close on or about November 21, 2025, according to a WARN notice filed August 18.
- Seventy-six employees are affected by the shutdown, with potential offers of roles at other JCPenney stores based on business needs and associate interest.
- JCPenney cited the inability to extend its mall lease and the lack of an alternative location in the area as reasons for the decision.
- The closure aligns with broader restructuring moves, including a July agreement to sell 119 stores to Onyx Partners for $947 million, with the deal expected to close by September 8.
- A separate WARN filing indicates the Alliance Supply Chain facility in Haslet, Texas, is set to close around November 1, with as many as 296 employees potentially laid off in phases.
