Boscov's Presented by
GretschCo Shopping Emporium

In 1911, Solomon Boscov arrived in Reading, Pennsylvania, purchased $8 worth of merchandise, rolled his wares into a pack and set off into the surrounding countryside. Soon he established a regular route through Lancaster and Berks County. He sold wares, exchanged merchandise for meals, did chores in exchange for lodging and made hundreds of friends. Within the year Solomon saved enough money to buy a horse and wagon and increase his inventory.

Solomon established the first boscov's at 9th and Pike Streets in Reading. Through hard work, honest and loyal co-workers, fair prices and quality merchandise, the small store expanded year after year. By the end of the 60s there were four stores in Reading. The out of town expansion began in August 1972 with the opening of the Lebanon Store. Stores came in quick succession after that.

Although our founder, Solomon Boscov, passed away in 1969, it is the company's conviction and resolution that all the Boscov's stores retain the same feelings of warmth, friendliness, courtesy, charm and service that he put into his first store. More Store Information.
