He's the peddler's son turned retail rock star: Albert Boscov transformed his family's modest, single store enterprise into a billion dollar department store chain, with dozens of locations in six states.
And yet, Al is so much more than just the monetary sum of his business successes.
He's a beloved boss who came out of retirement to rescue his company from bankruptcy.
He's a community leader who has ignored scores of naysayers and plowed ahead with an ambitious effort to revive his struggling hometown of Reading.
He's a family man who dotes on his wife, children and grandchildren.
He's a performer who loves the spotlight and is always quick with a joke or a song.
Now WFMZ's documentary unit has taken on the task of bringing this larger-than-life character to your living room.
"Boscov: An America Story" is a special, one-hour documentary that takes you inside the mind and the heart of this true visionary.
You'll discover what drives his unique business and personal philosophies, and you'll come to understand what his family, friends and fans already know:
They just don’t make 'em like this anymore. Narrated by former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell, a personal friend of Al's, "Boscov: An American Story" airs at 9 p.m. this Thanksgiving on 69-WFMZ-TV.
