Who Operates in the Castner Knott Properties Now?

The Castner-Knott Co., Nashville, Tennessee was a division of Mercantile Stores Co., Inc. when that company was acquired by Dillard's, Inc. in 1998. Its mall-based Nashville stores, the bulk of the chain, were sold to Saks, Inc. and operated as part of its regional Proffitt's chain, but were sold in turn to May in 2001 and incorporated into Hecht's. So while May Company never technically owned Castner-Knott, it inherited its most visible real estate.
