Bon-Ton
Online retailer and department store Bon-Ton might have stuck around for a century, but it is time to say goodbye. The store applied for bankruptcy in the past year and then liquidated its stores. In 2018, however, it reopened for e-commerce and relaunched a few stores. They had great success in the beginning since they operated in small towns with little competition. Amazon, of course, changed that.
