The Bon Marché

Common card · No. 445164

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. Allied Stores was merged into Federated Department Stores in 1992. As part of its national rebranding program, Federated changed the name to Bon-Macy's in 2003. On March 6, 2005, the Bon-Macy's name was eliminated, with the stores renamed as the Macy's Northwest division of Federated. On February 6, 2008, the Macy's Northwest division was merged with the Macy's West division, based in San Francisco.
