Burlington Stores, Inc. (NYSE: BURL) is a leading off-price retailer specializing in branded apparel, footwear and home products. Headquartered in Burlington, New Jersey, the company operates a network of more than 700 stores across the contiguous United States and Puerto Rico. Burlington’s core mission is to offer shoppers a curated selection of high-quality fashion and home merchandise at significant discounts to traditional retail prices.
The company’s product assortment spans multiple categories, including women’s, men’s and children’s apparel, footwear, baby and children’s products, accessories, intimates, beauty, toys, gifts and home décor. Burlington sources merchandise through close relationships with major brand partners, manufacturers and distributors. Inventory is selected based on deep discounts, closeout opportunities and end-of-season buys, allowing Burlington to pass savings directly to consumers.
Founded in 1972 as Burlington Coat Factory, the company initially focused on discounted outerwear. Over the years, Burlington expanded its product mix and geographic footprint, transitioning to a full-line off-price department store format. In 2006, Burlington was acquired by private investment firms and later completed its initial public offering in 2013, subsequently rebranding as Burlington Stores, Inc. This evolution cemented its position as a standalone off-price retail chain, distinct from its former parent enterprises.
Under the leadership of President and Chief Executive Officer Michael O’Sullivan, Burlington continues to pursue growth through strategic store openings, enhanced merchandising and investments in its digital platform. The company emphasizes a fast-turnover, treasure-hunt shopping experience, attracting value-conscious consumers seeking brand names at reduced prices. As Burlington expands its omnichannel capabilities, it aims to strengthen customer engagement through online sales and in-store fulfillment options.
