JCPenney is going out with a bang, offering massive discounts of up to 90% off as it prepares to close seven more stores across the U.S. by May 25, 2025.
The beloved department store chain, which filed for bankruptcy last year, is now in its final stretch of closures and clearance sales. If you’re looking to score deep deals on clothing, home decor, kitchenware, cosmetics, and more, this is your last chance before these stores close their doors for good.

What’s on Sale?
Shoppers can expect markdowns across every department:
- Apparel: National brands and JCP private labels at 40–90% off
- Home Goods: Area rugs, cookware, bedding, and more
- Cosmetics: Clearance pricing on select makeup and skincare
- Seasonal Items: Discounts on summer gear, decor, and accessories
Additional coupons and savings can be stacked through the JCPenney mobile app and rewards program, giving shoppers even more bang for their buck.
Why Is This Happening?
Foot traffic in malls has been steadily declining. According to Simon Property Group, mall occupancy has dropped by 5% in two years, and department store traffic is down 7% per Moody’s Analytics. With pressure from ecommerce, changing shopping habits, and rising operational costs, many large chains—including JCPenney—have had to rethink their store footprints.
Retail analyst Neil Saunders from GlobalData says JCPenney is in a “midway reinvention phase,” but success so far has been “patchy.” If the company wants to survive long-term, it needs to consolidate wins and re-engage shoppers.
Last Call for Bargain Hunters
With less than two weeks left, now is the time for bargain lovers to stock up before these deals vanish. Whether you’re eyeing new home goods or restocking your wardrobe, the May 25 deadline is the final cutoff for these once-in-a-year sales.
