2025 store closures: Joann and JCPenney join Macy’s, Kohl’s
JCPenney and Joann will shutter stores this year. They are joining Macy’s and Kohl’s which have announced plans to close stores in recent months.
Menomonee Falls-based Kohl’s is set to close 27 “underperforming” stores by the end of the month.
In January, Kohl’s announced it was closing the stores, located across 15 states, along with its e-commerce distribution center in San Bernardino, California. According to USA TODAY, the 27 stores are closing on Saturday, March 29, per the stores’ webpages. The e-commerce center is slated to close in May.
Here’s what to know about the closures and if they’re affecting stores in Wisconsin:
Why is Kohl’s closing stores?
Recently, the company has struggled to maintain a customer base and adapt to changing shopping trends. Throughout 2024, Kohl’s reported decreasing sales each quarter.
The retailer’s sales declined 9.4% in the fourth quarter of 2024 and 7.2% for the year. For 2025, the company expects a net decrease in sales for the year between 5% to 7% compared to last year.
A few weeks after announcing it would close the 27 stores, Kohl’s said it was eliminating roughly 10% of the positions at its headquarters. Additional layoffs took place in 2024 and 2023.
Amid the challenges, Kohl’s has worked to build partnerships with other brands like Sephora and Babies ‘R’ Us. It has also been experimenting with store layouts to drive sales.

MILWAUKEE – A Milwaukee man, previously named one of Wisconsin’s Most Wanted, has been sentenced to prison for shooting and killing his cousin in 2020.

Judge Michelle Havas sentenced Gladney to 29 years in prison on Friday, April 17. He was granted credit for more than a year’s time served and further sentenced to 14 years of extended supervision.
Arrested in Arizona after years on the run, court records show Gladney has also been ordered to pay the Milwaukee County District Attorney’s Office more than $1,800 for extradition costs.
Homicide investigation
The backstory:
The shooting happened in May 2020. Investigators said Gladney was captured on video apparently arguing with the victim, his cousin, outside a Milwaukee convenience store near 21st and Meinecke.
“It’s all on video, and it’s devastating for that family,” the marshal on the case told FOX6 when Gladney was profiled on Wisconsin’s Most Wanted. “You have a family member that shot and killed another family member.”

Prosecutors said Gladney walked away but then returned with a gun pointed directly at the victim and shot him. The victim died from his gunshot wounds at a nearby hospital. Multiple bullet casings were found at the scene.
Gladney went on the run for years. He was arrested in Arizona in January 2023, years after he was charged.
