ELYRIA, Ohio — The JCPenney at Midway Mall will be closing its doors.

The company announced Thursday that they will be closing 18 stores in the second quarter of 2019.

"It’s never easy taking actions that directly impact our valued associates and customers, however we feel this is a necessary business decision," spokesman Carter English said.

Employees who do not transfer to another location will receive separation benefits and all impacted associates have the option of participating in a three hour on-site career training course, according to English.

The store located at Midway Mall in Elyria will be closing July 5.
