Traditional department stores are struggling to stay afloat while shoppers are snapping their wallets shut to focus on saving money for everyday essentials. But the good news is that many off-price and discount department stores are stepping up to fill the gaps.
Burlington set out to open 100 locations in 2025, with a goal of opening 500 new stores between 2024 and 2028. Learn where new stores are opening next, and see if one will be coming soon to a city near you.

Shopping pro tip: This month's best deals
/images/2025/02/18/couple-using-credit-card-adobe.jpg)
August is here, and with it comes the final stretch of summer. It’s a great time to soak up the season and scoop up hot deals before they fade. Look for savings on:
- Travel and getaway must-haves
- Back-to-school basics
- Clearance swimwear and warm-weather styles
- For grocery savings, grab peak-season produce, like tomatoes, cucumbers, melons, and berries
As retailers shift their focus to fall, August is the last chance to snag summer essentials at unbeatable prices. Shop smart now before the season (and the savings) slip away.

Bottom line
/images/2024/04/25/burlington-coat-factory-store.jpg)
Burlington has an aggressive footprint strategy for the next three years, capitalizing on real estate left vacant by businesses going through bankruptcy proceedings. They seem to be on track to open 100 new stores by the end of this year, and by the end of 2026, all of their stores will feature the updated layout.
As a result, their consistently discounted pricing is likely to continue to draw consumers, so grab your best cash back credit card and check out one of their new locations.
