A New Wegman’s Supermarket is coming soon to the long-vacant Boscov’s Department Store space at the Montgomery Mall, and Montgomery Township Manager Larry Gregan says he hopes it will attract other stores. “They have gone through a period where they had a number of vacant stores, and this should generate some interest in being in the mall because it’s definitely going to bring more traffic to the area.”

Gregan says the Montgomery Mall is a major factor in the local economy because, in addition to creating jobs, it helps to keep residential real estate taxes low by making a big contribution to the tax base.
