JC Penney location in Manassas Mall to close in April

About April 4, the JCPenney store located in the Manassas Mall will be closing.

Last week, Potomac Local spoke with a staff associate at the store that confirmed that the location was going to be closing.

Inside the store, most merchandise was being offered at a discount, and store fixtures were already being packed. 

According to Joey Thomas, a Media Relations and Corporate Affairs representative for J.C. Penney Company, Inc., the store was underperforming.

“We continually evaluate our store portfolio to determine whether there’s a need to close or relocate underperforming stores.  Reviews such as these are essential in meeting our long-term goals for future company growth.  While it’s never an easy decision to close stores, especially due to the impact on our valued associates and customers, we feel this is a necessary business decision,” said Thomas.

There are currently 60 staff members employed at the Manassas JCPenney location, according to Thomas.

Employees may receive separation benefits, assistance in relocating to another JCPenney store, or career training services to help them find a new job.

“Eligible associates who do not remain with the company will receive separation benefits, and, if possible, we will assist associates in identifying other job opportunities at nearby JCPenney stores.  Additionally, we’re offering all associates an on-site career training class.  The class will assist associates in writing resumes, filling out applications, answering interview questions and more,” Thomas commented.
