Woodbridge, Va. –– JCPenney has decided to close its doors at Potomac Mills mall.
Mall officials have not yet said when the outlet store will close for good, nor have they announced what will replace the stores.
The outlet store offered discounted clothing and home goods found at regular JCPenney company stores.
Potomac Mills spokeswoman Loren Horsley says the store opened in March 1993.
It was a part of a newly expanded section of the sprawling shopping complex that at the time included Spiegel Catalogue outlet, Sakes Off Fifth Avenue, Marshalls and a large arcade, Planet Fun.
Of those stores, Saks Off Fifth and Marshalls are the only that remain in the portion that was expanded in the early 1990s.
Potomac Mills mall is the largest outlet shopping center in Virginia, offering 200 retail shops and specialty stores.
It originally opened in 1985, and quickly became a catalyst for growth in eastern Prince William County.
