Boscov’s department store announced it will continue to operate in Bensalem, Pennsylvania, even as owners of the surrounding Neshaminy Mall move forward with demolition plans. The decision ensures that shoppers will still have access to the retailer’s wide range of apparel, home goods and seasonal items while the larger property undergoes redevelopment.
The mall’s demolition has been scheduled for later this year, but Boscov’s management confirmed that the store will remain open throughout the construction phase. Employees are expected to maintain regular hours, and the store’s inventory will stay stocked to meet customer demand. The retailer’s presence is intended to provide a stable shopping option amid the broader changes affecting the complex.
In addition to Boscov’s, two other businesses within the mall have also committed to staying open during the demolition period. While the specific names of these establishments were not disclosed, their continued operation mirrors Boscov’s approach of preserving retail services for the community while the property is reconfigured.
The ongoing availability of Boscov’s and the two additional stores offers local residents a degree of continuity as the mall transitions to a new phase. By keeping these anchors open, shoppers retain access to familiar brands without needing to travel to other shopping centers. The strategy reflects an effort to balance redevelopment goals with the needs of the surrounding community, ensuring that retail options remain on hand throughout the demolition process.
