Overview
Fashion hounds lost in the wilds from Maine to Montana can take refuge in The Bon-Ton Stores. The company operates about 280 department stores under eight nameplates, including the Bon-Ton, Elder-Beerman, and Carson Pirie Scott banners, in some two dozen states. The stores sell branded (Calvin Klein, Estée Lauder, Liz Claiborne, Nautica, and Waterford) and private-label women's, children's, and men's clothing; accessories; cosmetics; and home furnishings.
