Boscov’s

We came in today to look at and price out some new furniture. The store was very clean and organized. Their selection was pretty good for being a store that has a little of everything. The salesman was very nice (I forgot his name). He checked on us often and answered any questions we had. They had a pretty nice selection of sofa-​beds also. The truly disappointing thing was that if we wanted a couch in a different fabric he said it would take 8 – 10 weeks for delivery. I don’t know if that’s a normal time period but we can’t wait that long. Looks like we will be checking other stores.

I get the flyer in the Sunday paper. As I read through the cheaply printed pages with the wild sale price fonts, I envisioned a huge warehouse with metal shelves and rolling racks. I decided to check it out today, and boy, I was wrong.
The store is as clean and modern as any J.C. Penny’s or Macy’s’. The selection of products are varied, and are fairly up-​to-​date. I spent some time going through the «As Seen on TV» aisles, amazed at the number of products (both in the store, and that someone actually came up with some of these wacky ideas!)
I started in the men’s department, and found exactly what I was looking for (the coveted navy blue suit that no one else in the world seems to carry). I also found a great summer seersucker sport coat. Both at excellent prices. Unfortunately, they didn’t have the shoes I wanted in my size.
Bestie spent a lot of time in the Women’s department. Lots of dressy clothes, and activewear, which is what she needed. We will go here first when she needs something new for a more formal event.
We browsed through housewares, linens, and furniture. The garden center was just in the midst of being set up. Another reason to check back here soon.
All in all, it was a great place to shop, and the prices, while not rock bottom, were better than most of the other stores I’ve been in.
Yes, a welcome addition to my shopping list.

I don’t think their prices are any cheaper then other stores
Bought a pair of sweat pants, every time they are washed a seam opens up and have to be resewed

Best prices in the state of Connecticut on clothing, shoes, toys, furniture, etc… Well worth the visit. This store is the only reason why I goto Meriden, Connecticut. Great prices.

I visited Boscov’s during its grand opening weekend. This was the first time I had ever been to a Boscov’s store and I was impressed with the selection of items and the cheap prices! This store is a much needed boost to the Meriden Square Mall which I hadn’t been to in ages because so many stores had left the mall. Boscov’s is a brightly lit store and well-​laid out store, which is much nicer than the JCPenney that previously occupied the space.
One of my favorite things is that they made homemade fudge in the store. As you get closer to the fudge counter, you can smell the fresh fudge being made wafting in the store. We got the red velvet, cookies and cream and maple fudge. The fudge was delicious!
We also had a chance to meet Mr. Boscov during the opening weekend and chat with him for a bit and he was very friendly.
One downside is the cash registers they currently have in the store. You can’t see the prices as the items are being rung up because there is no screen facing the customers. We had bought so many items and couldn’t see the prices as they were being rung up for each item that we didn’t realize until we got back home that one of the items had rung up at the wrong price. We called the store, but they said they couldn’t do anything over the phone and we had to come back to the store to resolve it, which was a bit of an inconvenience considering it was their error that the item rung up at the wrong price.
Also, while they have carts to use while shopping in the store, you have to take the elevator to switch floors with your cart. This resulted in a long line for the elevator. I hope in the future that they would install an escalator for the carts that some stores have so you can quickly change floors in the store without having to wait in the elevator line.
However, despite these minor issues, overall the store associates were very friendly and the store had a good selection and competitive prices.
