Chicagoans, still reeling from Federated Department Stores' impending change of Marshall Field's name to Macy's, can breathe easy about the future of Carson Pirie Scott & Co.'s name.

Carson's will remain Carson's, Bon-Ton CEO and President Bud Bergren told the Sun-Times.

"We think Carson's is a very good franchise, and has a lot of equity," Bergren said.

He added that he thinks it's "a shame" that Marshall Field's will become Macy's in 2006.
