JCPenney, which filed for bankruptcy just two weeks ago, is in the process of reopening hundreds of stores.

The retailer said that it reopened its doors at 150 stores in 27 states. The stores had been closed because of health concerns and stay-at-home orders prompted by the Covid-19 pandemic. The newly reopened JCPenney stores brought the company's total to 304 reopened stores. It expects to have 500 stores opened by Wednesday June 3.
