A 26-storey apartment block is planned for the spot once occupied by Younkers department store in downtown Des Moines, Iowa. The Younkers building was destroyed by fire in 2014. Another Younkers store went up in flames in 1978 in Des Moines killing 11 people. Saks incorporated indirectly acquired the company in 1998, then sold it and other names to Bon-Ton stores for $1.1 bn in 2006. It still operates around 50 stores.
