BRIDGEPORT, W.Va.–Reading, PA based department store Boscov’s will open a location in the former Sears wing at the Meadowbrook Mall in Bridgeport.
Boscov’s CEO Jim Boscov said that Harrison County had been on their radar. “It’s been an area that we have lookrd at any number of times.”
“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,” Boscov said. “We still believe in the traditional department store, where in one shopping trip, you can find everything you want. North Central West Virginia is going to see some very aggressive retailing that combines fun, fashion, community partnership, entertainment and service with jaw dropping pricing throughout the store.”
The new Bridgeport Boscov’s store will hire over 250 West Virginian co-workers and will offer unique services and provide extras such as free gift wrap supplies regardless of the amount of the purchase, a year round military discount, a gift registry for every occasion, curbside pickup and a hassle free return policy. “We provide the community with a different kind of shopping experience that’s more competitive on price, help, and quite frankly, fun,” said Jim Boscov. “We still believe in having both a knowledgeable sales staff providing genuine service as well as an amazing assortment of branded goods at unbeatable values. That’s what makes Boscov’s different and we think you’re going to like that difference.” Shop and learn more at www.boscovs.com.
The Meadowbrook Mall location of Boscov’s will be the company’s 50th store when it opens sometime in the fall.
