St. Cloud’s JCPenney Store to Stay Open, Not on List of Closing Stores

UNDATED - The J.C. Penney Company has released Friday the list of 138 specific stores they plan on closing, and the good news is the St. Cloud store is not on that list.

There are eight stores in Minnesota that will be closing: Baxter, Fairmont, Faribault, Hibbing, Hutchinson, Red Wing, Thief River Falls, and Winona.

Penney's announced last month the plan to close some of their stores.

They say about 5,000 positions nationwide will be impacted by the store closures, most of which will happen in June.
