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.

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.
