YORK, PA-Bon-Ton Stores Inc. will close its 124,000-sf distribution center in Ankeny, IA in April. At the same time the company is remodeling and reconfiguring the Parisian, Elder-Beerman and Carson Pirie Scott units to locations in Beavercreek, OH and Indianapolis.

Mary Kerr, vice president of investor relations, tells GlobeSt.com the Iowa space is leased, and following termination of the lease, the locally based department store company is consolidating overall distribution functions to four remaining centers in Whitehall, PA; Fairborn, OH; Rockford, IL and Green Bay, WI.

Meanwhile, the Parisian and Elder-Beerman units at Fairfield Commons Mall in Beavercreek, PA will carry the Elder-Beerman nameplate after renovation and reconfiguration, which will begin this April and is expected to reach completion in September. The 130,000-sf current Parisian location will be devoted to women’s ready to wear, cosmetics, shoes, fashion accessories and intimate apparel, while the 150,000-sf existing Elder-Beerman unit will be renovated to include a 65,000-sf furniture gallery along with home, men’s and children’s categories.
