COLUMBUS—Bon-Ton Stores, Inc. has just opened a 743,000 square foot, direct-to-consumer fulfillment center located in west suburban West Jefferson, becoming the latest of a series of companies that have launched massive distribution facilities in this growing market.
“It is common as retailers are strategizing how to execute an Omni-Channel platform,” Brad Struck of E. Smith Realty Partners tells GlobeSt.com.

The company's stores include Bergner's, Boston Store, Carson Pirie Scott, Elder Beerman, Herberger's and Younkers.
