After a holiday season that wasn't as bright as the company hoped, retailer JC Penney has announced layoffs of more than 2,000 workers and the closure of 39 stores in 19 states.

Two of the stores are located in Illinois, one each in DeKalb and Quincy. The Effingham location, a longtime anchor store of the Village Square Mall, is not affected by the closures.

The full list of stores to be shuttered is located here.
