Bonton Holdings Inc. operating as Bonton (/bɒntɒn/) is an American former department store chain and group founded in 1898 whose name is now used with an e-commerce website.
Bonton's stores operated in Western New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, West Virginia, Maryland, and throughout the Midwestern United States. The formerly York, Pennsylvania-based company filed for bankruptcy in February 2018 and sold the name to CSC Generation, which in turn sold it to BrandX.com in 2021, an e-commerce site under the brand name. Along with Bergner's, Boston Store, Carson's, Elder-Beerman, Herberger's, and Younkers, the names of most of the defunct retail group's department store chains are owned by BrandX.
