When department store chain Bon Marché was transitioned to Bon-Macy’s, I figured it was only a matter of time before the “Bon” was dropped as well. Parent company Federated Department Stores has now given a January timeframe for moving over completely to the Macy’s name. Federated stores in other parts of the country are also being renamed: Burdines, Goldsmith’s, Lazarus, and Rich’s will join the big Macy’s named family. Longtime residents lamented the loss of Bon Marché. Being new, I confess I am mainly happy that they will stop trying to sell me the Bon-Macy’s credit card when I already have a plain Macy’s card that works just fine there, thank you.
