Boscov?s to bring competition to area malls

Longtime anchor retailers at some of the area?s malls could be in for some increased competition when Boscov?s Department Stores opens three new local stores this fall.

“I think this is going to provide competition to the dominant department stores and will offer more choice for consumers,” said Tom Saquella, president of the Maryland Retailers Association. “Their locations are excellent for the type of shoppers who like their stores and they?re a very well-run company.”
