Shoppers World traces its founding to the 1930s, when Sam Dushey Sr. founded “The Mart” in Baltimore, Maryland. In the 1950s, Dushey opened the Pitkin Bargain Center in Brooklyn, New York. Dushey opened the first Shoppers World store in Elizabeth, New Jersey, in 1972.
If you’re an avid watcher of the TV show Undercover Boss you may recall Shoppers World CEO Sam Dushey going undercover in an episode that premiered in 2015.
