Burlington Stores, Inc.

An off-price retailer that sells brand-name clothing, shoes, home goods, and accessories at discounted prices in hundreds of stores across the United States. It began in 1972 when Monroe Milstein opened a coat store in Burlington, New Jersey — the city that gave the company its name — and the business grew from a single shop into a national chain. The first store was a former auto dealership, and the company kept the "Coat Factory" name for decades before rebranding to Burlington.
