THE NEW BURLINGTON STORE!
This is the new Burlington is located in the Dawson Marketplace Shopping Center in the same section as the new Homegoods and Bealls, (south of Krogers). It has been open for approximately four weeks.
Although I was excited to see that there is a new Burlington in the area, I wasn't so excited with my first visit. Yes, the store is clean, well organized and staffed with friendly and helpful staff, it just didn't feel like a Burlington Coat Factory. First of all, the name is now just Burlington and I was just starting to get accustomed to BCF. Second, there were no coats in the store and I am just having a hard time wrapping my head around that because this was the one place that sold coats regardless of the season. I want the old Burlington back!!!!
When I say I want the old Burlington back, I mean the one that sold leather bags and shoes and unique quality clothing. Over the decades this store has been downgraded to something I don't even recognize. While the prices are fine, the quality is not and I prefer to have great bargains that don't sacrifice quality. Right now, the selection of clothing for ladies is a bit skimpy but that could just be related to this being a new store that is in transition. While you might find a great item at a great price, it will probably be more of an exception rather than the rule.
While it is a bit "hit or miss", I wouldn't totally write it off because you never know when you might strike gold. Remember, they carry more than just clothing, they also sell home decor, bedding infant clothing and accessories, bags, hats and jewelry for ladies, shoes, and more. I can say that when it comes to hats and fascinators, they are the "go to" option. They also have some interesting items in the home decor section and I have hit the jackpot on occasion.
If you manage your expectations, you will be fine. Good luck! read more
