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 — An Oak Creek couple’s stolen car has been found after a viewer who saw a report on the theft spotted it near a south side Milwaukee apartment complex.
Melinna Posey said the ordeal began when her car was stolen and she turned to social media for help. A person who responded claimed to have the vehicle and demanded money for its return. The person messaging even taunted her, discarding some of the items inside the car.
Personal items were inside the vehicle, including the family’s car seat, stroller, cameras and photos.
“It’s been very stressful, especially for him. It’s his vehicle, it’s in his name,” Posey said.

I spoke to Posey on Tuesday. Since then, she and Tyler Dusenberry had been searching for the car. On Thursday, the couple received a message from someone who saw the story on TMJ4. That person found the car at a south side Milwaukee apartment complex and shared pictures of the red Dodge Durango SRT between trees and a building, covered in tarps.
“I didn’t believe the text message at first today, and then he sent pictures of the car, and I was like, thank the lord, I was like thank you so much,” Posey said.
“It’s a roller coaster that’s what it’s been,” Dusenberry said.

Oak Creek Police picked up the car and are processing it for evidence. The family has not yet been able to see the inside of the vehicle or what, if anything, was left behind.
The family said they are grateful to everyone who helped them this week, but said the entire experience will be tough to get over.
“It’s just unfortunate that this all happened, and we had a lot of memories and trips within that vehicle so it’s just a little life-changing to be honest,” Dusenberry said.

PLOVER, Wis. (WBAY) – Police in the western part of the state are spreading the word after someone stole over $95,000 worth of Milwaukee-brand tools. Police are concerned that they’ll be sold online or sold outside the state.
Milwaukee-brand tools were stolen from a trailer at a solar farm in Plover.
Police say there were 130 items, including more than 40 half-inch impact guns, multiple wire cutters, grease guns, 80 batteries, and a couple of small generators.
Investigators are warning that buyers who purchase stolen items can have them seized and could lose their money or even face criminal charges if they knew the property was stolen.
