Bon-Ton Stores’ plan to turn around its struggling department store brands includes the usual calls to close underperforming stores and boost online sales. But it’s also considering opening new stores in cities other retailers are leaving behind and throwing more weight behind its well-known Carson’s chain.
Bon-Ton, also the parent company of chains including Bergner’s and Younkers, disclosed details of the turnaround plan Monday in a regulatory filing tied to debt restructuring negotiations.
