Herberger's is a department store chain founded in St. Cloud, Minnesota, United States, and based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Founded in 1927, Herberger's is currently owned by the Bon-Ton, a York, Pennsylvania-based chain which operates several nameplates in the Midwestern, Mountain and Northeastern. As of mid-2005, Herberger's has 40 stores in nine states.
[edit] History
Herberger's began in St. Cloud, Minnesota, when G.R. "Bob" Herberger opened his first store in 1927. Herberger's was incorporated for the purpose of acquiring additional stores and expanding into other communities in 1943. By 1972, it grew to 11 stores in four states. Herberger's merged with Proffitt's Inc. in 1997.
As Proffitt's Inc. evolved into Saks Incorporated with the company's acquisition of Saks Fifth Avenue, Herberger's eventually became part of the corporation's Northern Department Store Group, essentially grouped under the umbrella of Carson Pirie Scott & Company. On October 31, 2005, Saks announced that it was selling Herberger's and its other Northern Department Store Group stores (Carson Pirie Scott, Bergner's, Boston Store, and Younkers) to Bon-Ton Stores in a $1.1 billion deal; the transaction was completed on March 6, 2006.
