About The Bon-Ton Stores 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 in almost 25 states, including the Bon-Ton, Elder-Beerman, and Carson Pirie Scott banners. The stores sell branded (Calvin Klein, Este Lauder, Liz Claiborne, Nautica, and Waterford) and private-label women's, children's, and men's clothing; accessories; cosmetics; and home furnishings. The Bon-Ton Stores acquired the 142-store Northern Department Store Group from Saks in 2006, doubling its store count. The firm also operates two furniture stores. The Grumbacher family, who founded The Bon-Ton Stores in 1898, owns about 37% of the company's stock. Bon-Ton's rise to the top of the Hot 100 results from the purchase of a group of department stores that more than doubled the company's size and sales.
