San Bruno, CA (Thechieftainspear) – JCPenney is set to close another round of stores in 2025, including its location at The Shops at Tanforan in San Bruno. This latest wave of closures reflects the department store chain’s continued restructuring efforts as it adapts to ongoing financial challenges.
Since filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in May 2020, JCPenney has significantly reduced its store footprint, shutting down approximately 200 locations. The upcoming closures will affect eight stores across the country, spanning California, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Maryland, New Hampshire, North Carolina, and West Virginia.
A company spokesperson cited expiring leases, shifting market conditions, and strategic business decisions as key reasons behind the latest round of closures.

Restructuring & Future Growth Plans
Despite scaling back certain operations, JCPenney is still pushing forward with growth initiatives. The retailer recently joined forces with Forever 21, Brooks Brothers, and other brands under the newly formed “Catalyst Brands” umbrella. This strategic move aims to expand its national presence, with plans to open 1,800 stores and create approximately 60,000 jobs in the near future.
While some locations are closing, JCPenney remains committed to evolving in an ever-changing retail landscape .
