A major retail chain is shutting down—but there’s one final sale before the doors close
- Replies 0
For many shoppers, this chain has been a go-to for everything from home goods to seasonal fashion.
But now, as store closures accelerate, it’s making one final push to clear shelves.
With steep markdowns and a firm deadline, bargain hunters have just days left to cash in.
And once the doors close, these deals—and the stores—will be gone for good.
JCPenney has launched massive closing-down sales, offering up to 90% off as it prepares to shutter select locations by May 25.
The discounts apply to a wide range of items, from apparel and cosmetics to cookware and bedding.
Customers shopping at participating outlets are finding racks of clearance marked 40% to 90% off.
The sales span both national name brands and JCPenney’s private labels.
Home decor sections are also being cleared out, with deep discounts on area rugs, pillows, and cookware.
It’s a last-chance opportunity for shoppers to snag high-value items at bargain-bin prices.
JCPenney confirmed that the sales will end on May 25, when liquidation at these locations officially concludes.
Additional digital coupons and rewards program discounts are still being honored in many stores.
This wave of closures reflects a broader trend facing brick-and-mortar department stores.
Declining mall foot traffic and rising ecommerce competition have made it harder to keep large-format stores profitable.
JCPenney joins a growing list of chains scaling back their physical presence in struggling malls.
According to Moody’s Analytics, department store traffic has fallen by 7% in the past two years.
A few of the JCPenney stores closing on May 25 include locations in San Bruno, CA, Denver, CO, Topeka, KS, and Charleston, WV.
These stores are offering some of the steepest markdowns, aiming to move out remaining inventory before lease expirations.
Retail analyst Neil Saunders noted that while JCPenney is showing signs of reinvention, success remains inconsistent.
He added, “The challenge is pulling them together to drive growth.”
As the countdown continues, shoppers still have time to score final clearance items at a fraction of their original cost.
With less than two weeks left, JCPenney is hoping these blowout deals will draw in foot traffic one last time.
While the company works to reposition itself, these closures mark the end of an era for many communities.
And for budget-conscious customers, it’s one of the biggest shopping opportunities of the year.
