Boscovs Opening in Meriden!

Boscov's opened on October 8th and I was there to experience it all! And there was much to see! Boscov's has stores all over the East Coast and this is the first in Connecticut located in Meriden.

October 8th was there Friends Helping Friends event. Patrons were able to shop the store early and get special deals by purchasing a shopping pass for $5. All the money donated from the shopping passes are given back to the local community. Boscov's prides itself in giving to local charitable organizations unlike some of it's competitors. What a great way have a store opening!

The place was packed as I arrived and instantly found out why this store is so special. I ran into (almost literally) Al Boscov himself! A family owned business since 1914, Al is still there at his store openings, shaking hands and welcoming new customers to his stores. 

We cannot talk about Boscov's and not mention their candy and chocolate! They have their own candy store and make fudge and chocolate on the premises! And it is GOOD! 

I quickly found myself in the DKNY section of the store. They have a multitude of designer brands such as Calvin Klein, Anne Klein, Carters, Champion, Nike, Jones New York, Nine West and Kenneth Cole to name just a few. I bought a pair of DKNY jeans for $32 from the $69 price tag they were originally and scooped up two beautiful Pashmina like scarfs for $2.99 each. Yes, under $3! Putting those away for stocking stuffer's this year.

Boscov's also carries home decor and home wares. You can find everything from holiday decorations to pillows and blankets. 

The celebration of the store opening is not over if you missed the ribbon cutting ceremony over the weekend. Free entertainment with Shirley Jones of The Partridge Family fame and stage and screen will be performing with her son Patrick Cassidy from October 10-17 pm both at 2 pm and 7 pm in the Boscov's auditorium located in the store. There will also be big prize giveaways each day.

Elvis Aaron Presley, Jr will also be performing October 18-24th at the Boscov's auditorium singing Elvis classics and entertaining customers. 

Lastly, Boscov's is holding a fashion week at the store from October 25-30th and will be having daily fashion shows right in the store. Lastly, a family fun event on Halloween! Come to the store for crafts, Halloween games and a costume parade.

Boscov's is located at the Westfield Meriden Mall at 480 Lewis Avenue in Meriden, CT. They will be open 10 am-10 pm during the grand opening events this month.
