Boscov’s recently closed it’s outlet store in Franklin Mills Mall but will open up four new stores in the area after acquiring 5 of the closing Strawbridge’s and ten overall new stores from Federated Department Stores Inc. The stores are located in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Maryland. The four new area stores will be located at the Deptford Mall, Montgomery Mall, Oxford Valley Mall and Willow Grove Mall.

All four of the area stores were Strawbridge’s that were in malls where Macy’s (owned by Federated) are already installed as anchor stores. Retailers are still being sought to fill the other area malls that are anchored by Strawbridge’s: Cherry Hill Mall, Christiana Mall, King of Prussia Mall and Springfield Mall.

My one question is will the Christmas Carol display that had been done at Strawbridge’s at Eighth & Market continue?
