J.C. Penney Corp. filed a notice with city and state officials July 17 saying 94 employees will lose their jobs when its store in Regency Square Mall closes in two months.
The Regency Square store is one of 152 locations the company is closing after filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganization in May.
J.C. Penney has two other Jacksonville stores remaining open in The Avenues and Orange Park malls.
The letter sent under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act said the Regency Square store will close on or about Sept. 27, and the 94 workers will be dismissed between Sept. 23 and Oct. 7.
“Based on business needs and associates’ interests, it is anticipated that a few associates may be offered employment in other J.C. Penney locations, the letter said.
The company also said it will provide outplacement services for employees losing their jobs.
