Campeau Corp., which last week completed its $3.4 billion acquisition of Allied Stores Corp., would sell 16 Allied divisions and cut its store holdings by more than one half, but would retain ownership of The Bon chain of department stores. The Bon chain had outlets in downtown Everett and at the Everett and Alderwood malls.
With a dozen theaters and enough seats to accommodate the city of Stanwood, it was being billed as the largest discount theater complex in the world. Alderwood 12, now under construction at the Alderwood Village shopping center on 196th St., would show double bills of second-run movies in each of the 12 theaters.
