Not huge news, but the 3 local Parisian stores [[Rochester Hills, Livonia, Clinton Township) will assume the name "Carson's"...as in Chicago's Carson Pirie Scott & Co...parent company Bon-Ton stores has already flipped the former Elder-Beerman store in Frenchtown Township and will do the same the with the Younkers store in Port Huron...they're standardizing around the Carson's name in Michigan...

The Parisian locations were an odd anamoly, having outlived the rest of the Alabama-based Parisian chain which was sold to Belk...which in turn flipped the 3 Michigan stores to Bon-Ton.
