Title: Is this the end for Bon-Ton?

It seems quite possible that the end of Bon-Ton will come faster than the end of SHC.

The Bon-Ton recently closed in South Portland's Maine Mall and will close in South Burlington VT leaving only one location in northern New England in Concord NH in a struggling mall...

It would not be a surprise to see them go with declining comparable-store sales during the holidays and their CFO that's leaving...

I expect the closures list to not be pretty in Central PA. I could see Selinsgrove, Bloomsburg, and Muncy all getting the axe, all dead/dying malls. Probably one or two in Allentown.
