English: Boscov’s Department Store in the Exton Square Mall. Built c. 1998 as an expansion to the mall, it displaced the Zook House which was on the NRHP in Chester County, PA (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Boscov’s is eliminating its section of appliances and electronics in its more than 40 stores and using the space to grow its furniture selections.
Albert R. Boscov, chairman of Boscov’s Department Stores Inc., said the furniture business is seeing growth, while sales of products such as televisions are not.
With high competition from stores that specialize in electronics, such as Best Buy, Boscov said the company is going to stick to what it does well.
Boscov’s is one of the last department stores that sell appliances, he said, selling those products longer than some of its competitors.
