regional department stores: Younkers, Carson Pirie Scott, Boston Store, Bergners, Herbergers, and I think one other that I can't remember. It intends to keep the Parisian chain. It has already sold Profitts and MacRaes to Belk. All this is complicated by some offers to buy the whole remaining shebaqng, including Saks Fifth Avenue (and Off fifth and Parisian). So several sets of possible deals are floating around.
Over the last couple of days Reuters, the NY Times and others have been reporting this.
When all the selling's done, I suppose therte'll be changes in the various stores.

Oh joy. I remember when Younkers used to be a good, upscale department store (as upscale as you can get in Iowa, anyway) before it was bought out by everyone and their mother.
At least we still have Von Maur's and their fabulous shoe sale room!
