Carlos Henriquez New retail anchor will open today in Fields Corner By Bill Forry Managing Editor A clothing retailer will open its doors in the Fields Corner shopping mall this week, filling a gaping hole in the business district and a valuable niche for consumers. The 28,000-square-foot location on Geneva Avenue will be the first Boston store for CW Price, a New York-based company specializing in affordable family apparel and home furnishings. The store’s opening is encouraging news for the neighborhood at large, which was dealt a setback earlier last year when HomeGoods closed its doors in the same location after less than a year in business. The HomeGoods had replaced a far more successful retailer A.J. Wright, which closed after the entire brand was phased out by corporate owners TJX. Despite its demise, the Dorchester A.J. Wright was the best performing store of its kind in the country, according to the mall’s longtime owner, Thomas Cifrino, whose company also operates Supreme Liquors in the mall. Cifrino says that the CW Price chain, now with 47 stores, is closely modeled on the A.J. Wright brand. In fact, the parent company of CW Price— New Dany Melo, 15, makes glass beads as part of a glass-blowing program for boys through the Bird Street (Continued on page 5) Community Center.
