- The Bon-Ton Stores, Inc. (BONTQ) operates as an online department store retailer offering brand-name fashion apparel and accessories for women, men, and children; cosmetics; home furnishings including kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, and outdoor items; shoes; handbags; jewelry; and toys. It conducts e-commerce business through bonton.com, serving customers primarily in the United States with a focus on Midwest and Northeast markets historically associated with its former physical locations under banners such as Bon-Ton, Bergner's, Boston Store, Carson's, Elder-Beerman, Herberger's, and Younkers. Founded in 1898 and historically headquartered in York, Pennsylvania, the company ceased brick-and-mortar operations following its 2018 Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing and subsequent liquidation of 267 stores. In September 2018, CSC Generation acquired its intellectual property for $900,000 and relaunched online sales with plans for new physical stores; early 2021 saw CSC sell the assets, including customer data and related brands, to BrandX.com, Inc. in a private transaction, marking the latest major ownership change as BrandX revived Bon-Ton alongside other regional department store nameplates through e-commerce.
