Earlier this month, the community released a list of 154 stores nationwide that will close through the summer.
The closures began in mid-June amid JCPenney's Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing.
New closures include one JCPenney on Long Island -- located in Suffolk County in Bay Shore at the South Shore Mall on Sunrise Highway.
Farther north, a Hudson Valley JCPenney will close - located in Dutchess County at the Poughkeepsie Galleria on Route 9 (South Road).
