Boston Store to close; 12 more in Wisconsin face same fate

RACINE — Regency Mall is about to lose another anchor tenant with Bon-Ton Stores’ announcement that it will close 13 Wisconsin Boston Stores including the one here.

Bon-Ton, parent company of Boston Store, has been ailing and notified the state of the mass closure Friday. The timetable was not specified.

The other Boston Stores to be closed include six in the greater Milwaukee area, two in Madison, and one each in Green Bay, Marshfield, Janesville and Eau Claire.

Even after the state issued its Wisconsin Business Closing and Mass Layoff, or WARN Act notice, it appeared the local store had not been notified it was being closed, according to the manager.

We had one near us in Latham, New York, and I loved going there and riding the escalators! There was also a small amusement park on the way and that was my first choice, but I was almost as happy with the escalators at The Boston Store - and it was a very nice store, the anchor store in that major shopping area. I looked it up and it's been replaced by a Wal-Mart.
