Bon-Ton Stores, Inc., traded on the OTC market under the ticker BONTQ, was a regional department store retailer headquartered in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Founded in 1898, the company grew to operate more than 260 stores across 22 states in the Northeast, Midwest and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States, targeting middle-market consumers with a broad assortment of merchandise.
The retailer’s product offerings included fashion apparel for women, men and children, as well as accessories, footwear, beauty products and home furnishings. Beyond its brick-and-mortar network, Bon-Ton supported a multi-channel shopping experience through e-commerce platforms and catalog operations. Select locations also featured in-store services such as beauty salons, watch and jewelry repair, and personal shopping assistance.
After nearly 120 years in business, Bon-Ton Stores filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in February 2018. The company liquidated its assets and closed all physical stores by mid-2018. While the Bon-Ton brand’s intellectual property was acquired by a third party for potential future use, the original corporate entity remains listed on the OTC market with no ongoing retail operations.
