Younkers (Part
of Bon-Ton Stores): Younkers is an American department store chain with
locations in the Midwestern United States. The chain concentrates on the
middle and upper-class segments of the market. After a hostile takeover
bid by Carson Pirie Scott was rejected in 1995, Younkers' shareholders agreed
to a friendly takeover by Proffitt's, Inc., of Knoxville, Tennessee. The
acquisition was completed in October 1996; Proffitt's would later acquire
Carson Pirie Scott, and in 1998 Proffitt's merged with Saks Fifth Avenue
to form Saks Incorporated. In 2003, Saks closed Younkers' headquarters in
Des Moines and merged its operations with those of Carson Pirie Scott in
Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Saks sold Younkers and its other Northern
Department Store Group stores (Carson Pirie Scott, Bergner's, Boston Store,
and Herberger's) to Bon-Ton Stores in a $1.1 billion deal that was completed
on March 6, 2006
