As prices stay high, many of us are looking for simple ways to save money on just about everything. Not surprisingly, discount retailers like Burlington have become increasingly popular. Shopping there can help put extra cash in your pocket without giving up big-name brands.
The retailer is continuing its expansion by opening 14 additional stores this month. The new locations could make bargain shopping easier and more convenient for folks across the country. Are you one of them?
How many stores does Burlington currently have?
Formerly Burlington Coat Factory, the rebranded Burlington is a one-stop shop for discounted clothing, accessories, and items for the home (as opposed to simply outerwear).
Currently, Burlington has over 1,000 outlets across the U.S. with plans to expand to the tune of more than 100 stores before year's end.
What's behind Burlington's expansion
According to the Burlington company, expanding aligns with its core mission. "Delivering incredible value on brand-name and on-trend merchandise is at the heart of what we do," said Burlington CEO Michael O'Sullivan in a statement to USA Today.
"We look forward to giving shoppers the chance to explore great savings, find fresh brands, and experience our new and improved store design no matter where they live."
Burlington is building on existing growth
The fact that Burlington is growing isn't new, as it follows a pattern of existing success for the company in recent years.
In 2023, 2024, and 2025, Burlington opened 80, 101, and 104 locations in the U.S. for a total of 285 new stores during that time. The footprint of these outlets is approximately 27,000 to 28,000 square feet each.
The chain is also improving existing locations
Before announcing their most recent expansion, Burlington launched a plan to upgrade its existing stores, branded Store Experience 2.0.
Approximately 50% of Burlington outlets were fully revamped in 2025, and the rest are set to receive the promised improvements by the end of 2026. The chain is also working to reduce certain emissions across the board.
Burlington is opening a new distribution center
In order to support retail outlets, distribution centers are essential. To that end, Burlington is opening a two-million-square-foot facility in the greater Phoenix metropolitan area. This is in addition to the improvements the company made to distribution centers in both Georgia and Southern California back in 2024 and 2025.
The facility in Phoenix will open in 2028, but shoppers can look forward to new stores as soon as this month. Here's where Burlington is opening locations in October.
