Parent

The Bon Marché (colloquially The Bon) was an American department store chain founded in 1890 in Seattle, Washington by Edward and Josephine Nordhoff. The name of the store was inspired by the Parisian department store Le Bon Marché.

The Bon Marché was acquired by Hahn Department Stores in 1929, which itself was acquired by Allied Stores in 1934. Federated Department Stores purchased Allied in 1992; it rebranded the chain as Bon–Macy's in 2003, and dissolved The Bon Marché completely with its full conversion to Macy's in 2005.
