Just like that, the Asheville Mall is getting a little bit emptier.
JC Penny, located inside the mall at 3 S Tunnel Road, will be permanently closing according to an event listing published by SB360 Capital Partners, a retail liquidation and inventory disposition company out of Needham, Massachusetts.
Sunday, May 5th will be the store’s final day. This is one store within a larger closure of 8 locations taking place as part of a corporate restructuring. As of the time of publication, Asheville Mall Capital Holding LLC, owner of the Asheville Mall, has not filed any documents with the city indicating a possible replacement for this anchor store.
