Pittsburgh-Area Mall Losing Major Retailer

PITTSBURGH, PA ? Store closing signs have been placed in a major retail location in a Pittsburgh-area mall.

The JCPenney in the Beaver Valley Mall soon will shut its doors.

The location initially was slated to close in 2020 when the department store chain declared bankruptcy and closed a number of stores, but the store subsequently was removed from the closure list.

"Regretfully, we are unable to continue our current lease terms for this store location and have been unable to find another suitable location in the market," a JCPenney spokesperson told The Times of Beaver County.

"We are grateful to our dedicated associates and the loyal customers who have shopped at our Monaca, PA, location through the years, and we hope to continue serving them throughout our nearly 650 stores nationwide and at JCPenney.com."
