I'm currently sitting in the parking lot after being told the store was closed, even though I arrived at 11:52 PM specifically to grab a set of curtains. I already knew exactly what I needed, so this wasn't going to be a long shopping trip. The elderly woman working the front door in loss prevention told me, "We're closed." I asked, "Don't you close at 12?" and she replied, "Well, it's five minutes before we close." I waited for a moment, and when I saw a customer walk out, I tried to ask a question. Before I could even speak, she cut me off again with, "We're closed." I explained that I just wanted to know what time they actually close or lock the doors. She told me 11:30 PM. That was news to me. I've come close to closing time before and never had an issue, so if the policy changed, the signage definitely needs to be updated. While sitting in my car, I watched yet another customer walk out clearly the registers were still open. I completely understand it was close to closing time, but the attitude I received just for asking a simple question was unnecessary. I wasn't even given the chance to speak before being shut down. read more

Burlington - Department Stores Near Me - Union City, California

Ariel the manager at the Union City location was so helpful and very professional. She made my transaction so smooth and easy and less stressful, especially because I drove out of my way from Palo Alto. Her and her staff was completely quick and efficient when there was a long line building up. Ariel attended to her staff with help and also jumped on the register to bring the line down. Her multitasking skills were awesome to witness in person. read more

Very bad experience for the first time They would not let the customers in 20 minutes before they close maybe they just wanna go home early I wouldn't recommend if you need a good service read more

Burlington - won't let the customers in 20 mins before they close - Department Stores Near Me - Union City, California

Not bad. Fairly good selection. Just not liking how it says the store closes at 11:30PM when in fact the store was already closed when I got there at 11:10 PM. It's that same security guard in the picture of one of the people who Yelped this place too (24 hrs apart from this review). It's on a Thursday (as of September 2025). So if you guys want the store's door to be closed before 11:30PM, PUT UP THAT SIGN FOR THE TIME WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED. That should be the closing time!!! Not 11:30PM then. OR If the store is supposed to be closed at 11:30 PM, CLOSE THE DOOR AT 11:30 PM. NOT ANYTIME EARLIER!!! I've heard stories of robberies or attempted robberies here before so it's understandable why employees an be overprotective. Still, get your signs fixed please so customers (like me) will not be thrown off. Thanks. Also, patrons can be very weird too. Bummer, this is one of my go to places to buy clothes. I do finish work late too so I did end up going late tonight. The only difference between me and the other person who reviewed your time is that I don't want this store to close nor do I want people fired. I just want IMPROVEMENT. On a good note, for the several years I've been going here, I want to compliment that older Caucasian female security (not trying to ridicule her image) because she is one of nicest securities I've met in the area of Union City. read more

Burlington - Store hours - Department Stores Near Me - Union City, California

See all

2 cashier open while there's a long line. Cashier was just so slow and rude with no customer service whatsoever. SMH. I wouldn't want to go back here actually I will not. I'll just go to Ross next door. read more

I love Burlington and always go to the one in Fremont. This union city location has SO many clothes and items. But what's the point if your dressing room is closed????? I've been here twice and no dressing room available. How are people supposed to try on clothes...? You have a staff member standing at the door literally just greeting people and blocking them from coming in, If you have a concern with who's entering the store and trying to prevent theft, why don't you hire a real security guard ...And use the regular employee at the fitting rooms instead of just standing in one spot for 8 hours granting us entrance to your store like we're entering a movie theater ... People will spend more money if your dressing rooms are open. read more

Used to be my favorite place to spend time -- great selection and great prices. Unfortunately, it's no longer welcoming. The restrooms and fitting rooms are closed, and when I requested to use the restroom, I had to wait several minutes just for someone to unlock the door. Inside, there were no tissues at all. Disappointed by the lack of basic amenities and hospitality. I won't be visiting again. read more

Sometimes I just accept that if I want a good deal I need to put up with the store. I wanted a black jacket, and after ordering two online that were not what I wanted, I decided I'd have to buy in store. The prices are good, but the store is so messy and checkout takes forever! I will say that every time I have gone in, the security guard is very friendly. They do have a lot of parking, so that is one good thing. read more

I would never recommend this store. I was minding my business, shopping with my family till we were approached by police officers stating that the store manager TERRY and security WHO DID NOT WANT TO DISCLOSE HIS NAME (EVEN AFTER THEY FALSEY ACCUSED US OF STEALING) called the cops on us because they assumed we were stealing. The cops searched us all in the store, realized we didn't steal anything, Cops were even embarrassed and left after the fact that they were wrong, we didn't even get an apology then refused to ring us up. I will not let this matter go. We were racially profiled and discriminated. This matter needs to be taken serious because I will definitely be escalating. I have everything on video and more ! read more

Me and my friend came here today at 9:40 and for some strange reason the doors did not open for us. A worker looked at us from other side of the doors but didn't say or do anything so we just assumed they were closed. We looked at the hours and they still were open till 12. As we were driving away, we saw the doors open for an Caucasian lady with her baby. Mind you me and my friend are in our 20s so I don't know if she was discriminating us because of our age or because we're Hispanic but that is not okay. Never coming here again and shame on you. read more

They have good makeup products and also good bags and they also have very good shoes there

I've been to this location twice in one week First time I shopped there everything was ok. Clean but it looked liked they were low on inventory. I was able to find some good deals on things The cashier was nice, friendly and efficient As I walked out with a cart full of items an employee told me that the cart wheels lock as soon as I walk out of the store and that I need to carry all of my items to my car with out using the cart WHAT IN THE HECK. Ugh if I would have been told that as I walked in I would of have been conscious of how many items I had so I can make sure I can carry them all out at once. 2nd time I go back to return an item and the store looked even emptier than the first time. read more

Listen: if bargain-hunting were a sport, I would be in Division 1, baby. I'm an avid Ross and TJ Maxx browser and I recently decided to add Burlington CF to my rounds. I recently visited the one in Vacaville and, while I found some great finds, the store was a mess, the lights were dim and the atmosphere was downright depressing. I thought all Burlington stores must be this way as a way of saving money. But when my mom and I walked into this BCF in Union City, we were downright impressed. First, it was well lit throughout the store. Second, all, as in ALL, the aisles were neat and pleasantly organized. We were expressing our impressed state to the greeter/loss prevention man and he replied with pride, "of course, this place is ran by Filipinos!" Being a Filipino myself, I took pleasure in his pride. Being the first person you meet, he made a great impression on us as he was very personable and funny as well. We would've stayed longer but it was nap time for my daughter. However, we pushed the limit as much as we could and came away with some great finds. I wish this place had more workers on the floors though, but the one person I encountered, who was also a cashier, was very kind. My mom made sure we found the manager and gave her her accolades for a store well kept. If Burlington just had senior discount Tuesdays like Ross, it might give the latter a run for it's money! But for sure, we will be back again and hope they keep up the great work! read more

I came on the soft opening on 3/5/2020. The grand opening is the next day and I was told the first 500 customers get a tote bag. This location replaced the old Babies R Us. I haven't been into a Burlington in years but it pretty much looked like a bigger Ross (which they now share a parking lot with). It was very organized and clean probably because it's still new but it had a bigger selection. As a mom I was intrigued by their kid section. It almost reminded me of Targets kid section because they had cribs displayed and strollers too! Pretty awesome! Lastly, the checkout process was similar to Marshall's and the staff was friendly! I will definitely come back! read more

Burlington - Hours - Department Stores Near Me - Union City, California

Stopped going to this place. Seems like going in and out is such an issue. They actually block off anyone going in freely, they have to let you in so you have to wait.... no thank you. I'll just go to Ross next door. read more

Wow excellent customer service. And look how lucky I got thank you so much to the gentleman who brought it out from the back before they put them out. said it was the last two! So happy. read more

This placed opened in March 2020? Where have I been? Oh, yeah, shelter-in-place due to Covid happened also on March 2020 and we were all too paranoid to leave our homes, let alone shop for non-essentials. Fast forward to almost a year later when we are still a bit paranoid to leave our homes but now, we want to go out and step a bit out of our comfort zone. In this case, I needed some relaxing tea as my supply went very low and I was tired of the lack of choices I got at the grocery stores. My go-to for caffeine-free tea has always been the discount stores like TJ Max, Home Goods, Marshall's but those are all located in Fremont and a bit for me to drive. So off to Union Landing I went. First stop was Ross because I was able to get my teas here before Burlington opened but the choices this time were slim to none, so I had a good excuse to go next door to Burlington. They share a parking spot so we just walked it. Mask is required and they have guards to make sure you have it on. They also have hand sanitizers as you walk in. My son was with me and this used to be a Babies R Us and, for some reason, he said that the interior still reminds him of BRU. I used to shop here with him when it was BRU, up to when he we around 6 years old. He even pointed out to me where Kiddie Kandids used to be at. Anyway, this place is very big with a lot of spaces to walk on and there are definitely huge choices especially in their women's section from make-up, toiletries, clothing, bags and shoes. It's an all-in-one stop shop! I like how clean and organized everything is. I did find all kinds of caffeine-free teas and got several boxes along with so many snacks that you wouldn't see at grocery stores. The prices here are very competitive. When you check out, as always there are more awesome merchandise showcased as you wait for your turn. It's a good way to past time, bad if you're on a budget. When I paid, the cashier had me sign up for some sort of reward's program. I'm not exactly sure how it works but they did e-mail me a copy of my receipt after I got a paper copy of it. We will definitely come back here. Between Burlington and Ross, it's easy to find what you are looking for and even items you didn't think you need. We definitely needed some time to do our browsing as there is so much to see. read more

Burlington - Checking this place out. - Department Stores Near Me - Union City, California

10+ people in line and there are only 2 cashiers, The manager working on rack instead of opening another cash register! Wait in line for 30mins + Just ridiculous! Will never shop here again Don't waste your time here. Go to Ross next door. read more

Stay away. Cashiers take 3 long to ring items up. More pleasant time waiting in line at the DMV. :(

Cashier palwasha was giving me hard time in pulling my card information. She said it will take more than 15 mins, I told her just try, normally it takes just few mins. So purposely she took more than 10 mins normally this never happened She told me next time bring your card Worst customer service experience here Will never return read more

Joaquin plays favoritism I asked for a blanket and said no more and then he goes and grabs 4 for another girl. Definitely horrible store and employee he's probably getting some on the side to hold. Hopefully this gets attention cuz this is not ok. read more

I had got hired here, first of all they made me go in about 1-4 times for orientation and every time I would go they would send me back home because the system was down, when I finally went for my orientation/trainning, nobody guide me through the process, they were suppose to tell me to fill in my card information in the workday app or else i would have to repeat the process again, the day I went in for actual work, after they called me saying I was suppose to fill in my card information, when I did, it locked me out my workday app. I told them about it and they said they would have to contact HR. I called so many times and talked to the Maneger, went into the store multiple times to talk to Betty about it, all the times she would say she would call me when HR got back to them. Never did. I got tired of bugging. This whole process was overall unprofessional, only one that was communicating back and letting me know info was juaquin. Thanks to him. Overall very unprofessional of the Maneger. read more

I was waiting outside when a homeless man from inside the store asked me if I had 5 cents because they were not letting him purchase new shoes since he was off 5 cents. His shoes had holes in them and he told me that he saved up all month just so he could get new ones. I was shocked that the employees at this store would deny such a person in such desperate needs. Very inhumane if you ask me:( Glad I got to help him out. read more

Burlington - Denying homeless man shoes since he was off 5 cents! - Department Stores Near Me - Union City, California

LESLIE GAVE MY MOM THE MOST DISGUSTING INTERACTION TODAY! While my mom was trying on clothes and returning items back to the rack she intervened and was questioning the attending associate verifying that my mom was giving back clothes. When my mom heard she told her that she is aware of the limit of items you can have in a fitting room and Leslie took it upon herself to start arguing with my mom and very forcefully told the associate to "go to lunch, so I[she] can handle it". She also got very snotty with my mom when she asked for the corporate number and told her to "Google it". When my mom said she felt she was being discriminated against Leslie proceeded to laugh and said "Oh you are ha!". The manager also informed my mom that this isn't Leslie's first complaint. Why on earth would you have someone with this type of attitude working at your establishment! read more

Glad there location moved closer a few years ago during the pandemic my daughter loves shopping here we always see good finds here.

Brenda was extremely rude; she was straightening the front while the line continued to grow; when asked if other cashiers were available, she had attitude and without words went behind the counter and opened her lane. Sorry to bother you, but retail is not for you if you don't want to assist or answer questions. The overall feel of the store is depressing, from the merchandise to the employees. read more

Haven't been to this Burlington since it opened cause of the virus. It recently opened and taken precautions of course. Got this backpack since I needed a new one, I'm not a purse person. Original price was at $89.00 and got it for $16.99 with tax about $18. So in Love with my new backpack . Employees were very friendly. read more

Burlington - Original price $89.00 got for $16.99 (around $18) - Department Stores Near Me - Union City, California

What can I say I walked out of the place under $100.00 worth of Christmas gifts. Why you asked? Because the prices here are pretty affordable. They offer a lot of gift sets at a reasonable price. There's a little bit of everything here for everyone. The store is recovered well and is cleaned. I got good customer service at the cash wrap. They accommodated my split transaction on half cash and half card. Even though there's a sign on the register saying there's a change shortage. But still honored cash. That's why for the five stars. The associates never exhibited any rudeness towards me. Free parking on the lot. Easy to find right off the freeway. I wish they would've had more clothing for sale though. Get you're Christmas gifts here. read more

Most thrift stores are organized better then this location. They have given up and it shows.

After spending time picking out clothes to try on I went to the dressing room only to find out it was closed for the day. Why I asked. The answer provided to me was that the employee did not show so it was closed. What??? Why not assign the employee restocking to the dressing rooms. A simple solution that promotes customer service. Apparently they are not aware how customer service works. Needless to say I walked out and they lost my business. read more

We were so excited to see Burlington factory opened up in the neighborhood shopping complex. But all excitement turned into disappointment as many times i visited the store. First of all, there has been never enough staff including the cashier in the store. At times there is just 2-3 people managing the entire store. And to top it off, they are rude and sometimes extremely rude. I usually shrug of these behaviors as it seems they just don't like working at this place but an incident which happened during my last visit assured me that this place is not worth visiting ever. I was trying to get my daughter try some of the clothes including few vest which came in a pack of 3. The old lady at the fitting room started shouting at us unnecessarily and started snatching and throwing clothes in here and there. What i could understand that she doesn't know English very well and due to that was not able to make me understand that i was not allowed to try on clothes in packs. She even started pointing out the choice and size of clothes we picked saying this is too small for her, what?? Excuse me!! Who are you to tell me what we try and what we should not. Soon her body language become so intimidating that i had to tell her to call store manager to whom i can discuss what is all happening. She was so assured and confident that nothing gonna go against her that she quickly called the store manager. The store manager indeed was nice and did acknowledged the old ladies behavior and language issues but she also sarcastically told me that we can't do much about these employees who has been working here for 20 years, 20 years!! Really!! The store hasn't been opened for even 4-5 years. Long story in short, the staff at this store don't care of its customers, they are like take it or leave it, we don't care!! So do yourselves a favor specially if you don't want to ruin your day by few people who absolutely hate there job. Don't bother to visit this store rather shop next door, Ross which beats this place in every regards or rather visit other Burlington store where you are treated with some respect. read more

One of the worst Burlington locations I have shopped at. Recovery is horrible. Everything is on the floor. Poorly managed with employees that are not trained which really isn't thier fault. Overall a very dissapointing customer experience to say the least read more

Clean store, good amount of product to sift through. No complaints from me. I normally would give an extra start for great service or unique something but it's a department store. A little less word on my review b/c it's not a restaurant or cafe. read more

I came here after the horrible shopping experience we received at Ross Next door. We were greeted with a smile and the associates walking the floor were extremely nice and helpful. Down to the moment of checking out and leaving the store, the employees were cheerful and polite! Even as they were dealing with an LP situation with a guy trying to leave with merchandise, they were still respectful towards him and acknowledged us as we we're leaving. They just did an amazing job. Not to mention their prices are crazy affordable!! Wish they had more merchandise, but I will be definitely coming back here! read more

I use to work at Burlington ( Union City ) Leslie (Manger) talks about her employees and was constantly on my ass for nothing she came out the women's bathroom just to watch me come out the men's bathroom just to ask me what i was doing in there. also Leslie wanted me to announce myself on the walkie talky every time i started my shift while other employees never did i felt like it was based off skin color & lets the supervisor (CJ) be on her phone around her & the other Cashier Supervisor was always on her phone too & Leslie never said a thing about it. Leslie also sent me home because i didn't say anything to a employee that was already clocking out for work. Plus there was a time when fitting room associate was running the cash she was in need for help nobody else was at the register besides her & Leslie didn't bother to help but wanted the fitting room associate to figure out her problem there was only one register running at the time This store can be so much better with better management ( Do Not Work Here ) read more

There was only one cashier last night, the line began to get longer, I have no idea why they left that poor woman by herself, when I go and ask a woman with curly hair who should have been up there to begin with instead of parking her but on a chair to do absolutely nothing she gives me attitude and says we have no cashiers, that's what we have up there. Excuse me? Then go help out, don't just send someone else when you've been walking around the store doing nothing. Learn how to speak to your paying customers, Her attitude is horrible, she kept mean mugging all the way until we walked out the store. Be more professional that's what you're paid to do. A teenager named Jose was far more respectful and helpful. read more

Great stock of products! But a few downsides such as poorly trained staff and dumb Covid practices. You have 11 registers but open the first 5 that are right next to each other? Not smart and I'm sure OSHA would agree that you should open every OTHER register to help social distancing among both staff and guests. Also find it super strange that this is a brand new location that opened in 2020 but they don't accept mobile payment such as Paypal, ApplePay, Googlepay. This isn't the stone age, and your card readers are Verifone anyway. Don't cheap out on us! Get mobile payment capability! read more

This store needs some serious change. My family and I adore the greeters every time we come in yet when we shop the on floor staff are so rude and untrained. All the merchandise is all over the place in most departments, there is absolutely no six foot social distanincing that is poor hygiene and usually the cashiers are okay but this last time this woman was rude and gossiping with another young lady at the register for too long maybe that's why they get robbed frequently. read more
