SEATTLE — JCPenney is selling its Kennewick store as part of a nationwide sell-off involving 119 stores. The retailer announced the $947 million transaction last week, stating that the Boston-based private equity firm, Onyx Partners, Ltd., will purchase the properties. The move comes five years after JCPenney filed for bankruptcy.

The deal also includes JCPenney locations in Bellingham, Southcenter near Seattle and Clackamas Town Center near Portland.

Boston-based Onyx Partners, Ltd. has entered into a purchase and sale agreement with Copper Property CTL Pass Through Trust to buy 119 JCPenney properties, according to a press release. The $947 million all-cash deal is expected to close before September 8.
