 Bergner & Co. of Milwaukee, Wisconsin (and formerly of Peoria, Illinois) in 1989, which filed for bankruptcy in 1991.Carson's and Bergner's were later owned by The Bon-Ton Stores.The former Donaldson's stores did not perform well under the new ownership and in 1995 Carson's closed the Twin Cities area locations of the chain and sold the spaces to Dayton's' parent Dayton Hudson Corp.; many of these locations were valuable mall properties that would have been attractive to Dayton's competitors.
