As part of a nationwide shift, three Valley JCPenney's locations will stop selling home appliances and furniture at the end of the month.
JCPenney announced Wednesday that they have made the decision to discontinue selling major appliances effective Feb. 28. Furniture will only be available for purchase online and in Puerto Rico.
Three Valley location, including stores that the Eastwood Mall, Southern Park Mall, and Shenango Valley Mall, are included in that list.
The decision to stop selling appliances, according to a release, will allow the company to "better meet customer expectations, improve financial performance and drive profitable growth".
The company plans to reconfigure many of its stores.
"While configurations vary by store, we are finalizing new layout options, including the reduction of store space previously dedicated to appliance and furniture showrooms to maximize efficiencies, reduce inventory and create an enhanced shopping experience that inspires repeat shopping trips. Optimizing the allocation of store space will enable us to prioritize and focus on the Company's legacy strengths in apparel and soft home furnishings, which represent higher margin opportunities."
Customers can purchase major appliances in stores and online through Feb. 28 and receive free basic delivery and installation on new model purchases over $299.
JCPenney says all protection plans and manufacturer's warranty agreements will remain in effect for the applicable warranty period.
