The J.C. Penney store at the Clearview Mall is not among the stores scheduled to close later this year.
J.C. Penny corporate management announced Friday that 138 stores will begin liquidation sales April 17th and close sometime in June.
The company CEO told investors last month that the closures will allow for investment in the remaining stores while raising the overall brand standard.
Some of the nearly 5,000 workers nationwide will receive transfer opportunities while others will not. J.C. Penney will continue to operate nearly 900 stores after the closings.
