Keith Plowman, Executive VP and CFO, added, "Our liquidation strategy of non-go-forward merchandise remains on target, positioning the Bon-Ton stores for the new fall assortments in home, ready to wear, shoes and accessories. The home and furniture liquidation sales drove Bon-Ton's July comparable store sales increase."
