Parisian was a U.S. chain of upscale department stores headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama. The company was founded in Birmingham. Parisian had undergone a series of restructurings and mergers during its 130-year history, becoming a regional upper-market chain throughout much of the southeastern United States by the 1980s. Parisian competed mainly in the Southeastern market against Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus and Gus Mayer. Belk bought the department store chain from Saks Incorporated in a $285 million deal on September 30, 2006. In addition to closing a handful of the stores, Belk immediately resold five of the store locations in Michigan, Indiana and Ohio to Bon-Ton Stores although Bon-Ton did not acquire the corporation side of Parisian and are not allowed to open any new stores or convert other stores to the Parisian nameplate.
