Younkers going-out-of-business sale starts Friday
April 19, 2018
The going-out-of-business sale starts at Younkers in The Empire Mall and all Bon-Ton Stores Inc. sites Friday.
Liquidation sales are expected to run for 10 to 12 weeks, according to a company news release. Online merchandise will be marked down too.
On Wednesday, a bankruptcy court judge approved an agreement to sell off the company’s assets.
In addition to Younkers, Bon-Ton owns Herberger’s stores in Aberdeen, Rapid City and Watertown.
Earlier this month, Bon-Ton filed a notice with South Dakota that it planned to lay off 158 workers at Younkers in The Empire Mall starting June 5 if it could not find a buyer.
Thirty-eight of Bon-Ton’s 250 stores were already having going-out-of-business sales from previously announced closures.
Credit card holders were notified Thursday that they could no longer purchase items or use rewards on their cards.
Additional customer information regarding the going out of business sales is available on the company’s restructuring website at bontonrestructuring.com.
