The family-owned business Boscov’s will reach a major store number with the opening of its 50th location and its first West Virginia later this year.
The company’s other 49 stores can be found in Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Ohio.
“We have the advantage of being a family-owned business. That means we can make decisions and work to please the customer, not the stock market,” said Jim Boscov, Chairman and CEO. “We still believe in the traditional department store, where in one shopping trip, you can find everything you want.”
The latest Boscov’s is set to open this fall in a 151,000sq ft. space at Meadowbrook, a Cafaro property. It will introduce the Mountain State to the merchandising philosophy that the company claims has kept it going for more than 100 years: fashions in both traditional labels and designer names, free gift wrap supplies, and a huge full-service candy department.
