This store recently opened and got me in the door with a $10 coupon for a $10 minimum purchase--a pretty good deal if you ask me. I wanted to show my gratitude by writing a review. This store was a little peculiar, as Burlington Coat Factories go. It looks a little fancy, pretty clean, sleek and new, but it's mostly the same stuff. Men's stuff is in the basement, Women's on the ground floor, and Children's upstairs. I found the women's section to have a disproportionate amount of handbags and things, and a lot less in the way of clothing. The men's section was more normal, but it was skewed more towards shirts and had some notable omissions (they had no pajama pants!). Like this store usually is, it was hit-or-miss, with high-quality brands mixed in with really low-quality ones, and all in a similar price range. I also found some women's socks mixed in with the men's socks. Overall, I found the clothing here to be more bright and colorful than is typical. I've visited two other Burlington locations (Lancaster outlets and center city Philly) multiple times, and the clothing at these other stores tends to be pretty drab. This place is an explosion of color, which perhaps reflects the demographics in this neighborhood--and I found it welcome. Men's clothing is a little more drab, as usual, but I still found it more colorful than normal. The checkout line moves fast, which was good, because there was a long line. I was impressed with the efficiency of the employees here. The other day I was at a K-mart in center city and it was a disaster, so I can really appreciate speed on this point. One downside of this place is parking...there's no lot, leaving you to find street parking, which wasn't very hard, but may take effort if you go at a busier time. Thankfully, this place is within easy walking distance of the 69th street terminal, a place I usually find myself every week or every other week or so, so it's conveniently accessible without a car. I personally am a big fan of transit so I was happy to see (and support) a store opening up in a transit-oriented area. If this place wanted 5 stars? I'd recommend them ditching the low-quality brands (stuff like Perry Ellis men'swear, cheap stuff that falls apart after a few months of use) and carrying less stuff but focusing on quality. Like I said, there are high-quality brands mixed in here at about the same prices, but they're mixed in with junk brands. I also think this place would do well to be a tad more comprehensive...where are the PJ pants? Maybe more men's hats? And I know it's approaching spring but there were no hats, scarves, or gloves I found in either men's or women's and I think it's important to stock at least a few of these year-round. read more

The company claims that they are hiring when that is far from the truth. I went in for an interview earlier this month and had to call the company in order for me to figure out what the status was and till this time I have still not heard anything despite calling twice. If you're looking for a job this might not be the best place. read more

I like this Burlington location because they usually have a good mix of everything. I typically don't visit with specific items in mind, but you can't go wrong with their clothing or accessories section for women. Think work wear, casual, and some formal as well. This location used to have some good picks for shoes, but here lately the show shelves are pretty empty. read more

Surprisingly a very good discount, compared to previous stores at this location. The Men's Department has an interesting, diverse, variety of styles of clothing, footwear, accessories, & Guy Gadgets as well. The amount of inventory in this store can change anytime - depending on customer wants & needs, which means if see an item the 1st time, I'll purchase, because it won't be there again ( later ), been there, done it. The employees there will help you if need assistance if you ask. The checkout lines are quite good too, especially when store crowds begins to increase. I didn't give a Fifth Star because - Burlington Branch in Philadelphia has a Larger Brand selection available - Similar to their Marple Springfield PA. Branch Store. read more

I had just purchased a Calvin Klein dress from Macy's and just happened by Burlington. I could see the same CK dress on a rack...and it was $30 cheaper than Macy's sale price. Score, right?! WRONG!! I bought the dress my size but got it home and found it was tighter than the exact same dress from Macy's. No worries, as I can exchange it. Yesterday I'd exchanged a dress at the store in the Gallery, but got all the way home before I realized that the employee left the security sensor on it. As I'd planned to wear it for a job interview, that's obviously a problem! To avoid having to go all the way back to the Gallery, I took the dress to another Burlington in Upper Darby, PA, which is closer to my house. I get there and the staff tell me that they don't have the same type of security sensors; but before I leave a male employee says he can check the back for the handheld device and takes the dress in the back to remove the security sensor. Five minutes later he comes out and hands the dress to the cashier. She asks, "we had one of those hand removers in the back?", to which he replies "No, but I used something else to get it off." He gives her an odd look as she folds up the dress and puts it back into the bag. I exit the store but something tells me to look at the dress. I pull it out and find he's ripped a 1 inch tear on the seam!! I went back into the store and show the cashier the tear. Her response is not an apology but, "You can fix it with a little needle and thread. ha ha", to which I reply "that's.not.my.job". She stopped smiling. Of course they don't carry this dress in this Burlington store, so it does me no good to return it to THIS store. Now I have to go BACK to the Burlington in the Gallery, pay for parking AGAIN & hope that they still have the dress in my size for the exchange. My job interview is in two days and I'm dealing with what can only be described as pure foolishness! I'm just so pissed that he couldn't just say "we can't remove it, sorry" or just own up to the fact that he tore it. HTF do you just try to shove it in the bag so I can find it when i get home?! After this experience I will NEVER step foot inside another Burlington! read more
