In July of 2022, JCPenney announced that they would close their store at Monmouth Mall in Eatontown, New Jersey. We need to save it. JCPenney invested a lot of money into renovating that store, and it is a very unique JCPenney with lots of one-of-a-kind architecture that cannot be found elsewhere. JCPenney has been at Monmouth Mall since 1975 and there is absolutely no reason why they should close this store. JCPenney plans to close at Monmouth Mall in October 2022, and once it leaves, Boscov's at Macy's will be the only anchors left. Monmouth Mall is in some SERIOUS TROUBLE and in danger of becoming a dead mall. We cannot let that happen, as it is a vital source of economy for both the Borough of Eatontown and Monmouth County. Even though JCPenney has a store nearby at Freehold Raceway Mall, it is nothing special compared to the Monmouth Mall store, as it opened in the 1990s, 1991 to be exact, whereas the Monmouth Mall location opened in 1975. For these reasons, JCPenney MUST STAY at Monmouth Mall.
