is a
Department Store chain in the
Midwestern United States . As of mid-
2005 , the chain has 40 stores in nine states.
Herberger's began in
St. Cloud, Minnesota , when G.R. "Bob" Herberger opened his first store in
1927 . Herberger's was incorporated for the purpose of acquiring additional stores and expanding into other communities in
1943 . By
1972 , it grew to 11 stores in four states. Herberger's merged with
Proffitt's Inc. in
1997 .
As Proffitt's Inc. evolved into
Saks Incorporated with the company's acquisition of
Saks Fifth Avenue , Herberger's eventually became part of the corporation's Northern Department Store Group, essentially grouped under the umbrella of
Carson Pirie Scott & Company. On
October 31 ,
2005 , Saks announced that it was selling Herberger's and its other Northern Department Store Group stores (Carson Pirie Scott,
Bergner's ,
Boston Store , and
Younkers ) to
Bon-Ton Stores in a $1.1 billion deal; the transaction was completed on
March 6 ,
