And here’s a look at how those closures spread out across the country.
The closures, most of which are scheduled to happen in June, represent about 14 percent of the department store operator’s current store count.
Most of the stores that are closing will begin the liquidation process around this time next month.
The officials number of stores closing stands at 138. Only one distribution center, in Lakeland, Florida, will close — another, in Buena Park, California, is being relocated.
There will be approximately 5,000 Penney’s employees nationwide who will be affected by the closings.
The states with the biggest number of closings are Texas, Minnesota, Michigan, Illinois, North Carolina, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. Three stores are closing in Louisiana and four in Oklahoma.
