JCPenney’s Boise Towne Square Mall location is changing hands as part of a massive $947 million sale involving 119 stores nationwide. While department stores have been vanishing from Idaho malls, this deal doesn’t mean the Boise JCPenney is closing—at least not yet. Instead, the store will now pay rent to new owners, Onyx Partners, a Boston-based private equity firm. It’s wild to think how many anchor stores at the mall are owned by outside companies! What do you think this means for the future of shopping in Boise? Have you noticed the changes at the mall lately? #Business #LocalBusiness #Boise
