Summary

  • Twelve Burlington stores are scheduled to open in August, starting Aug. 6 in Mesquite, Texas, and Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, with sites also planned in California, Florida, Missouri, New York, Pennsylvania, Arizona and Puerto Rico.
  • The August rollout is part of 32 grand openings over the next two months—12 in August and 20 in September—as the off-price retailer pushes to open more than 100 stores by the end of 2026.
  • California leads the August slate with five openings from Aug. 13, while Burlington said the new locations will feature a redesigned format with wider aisles, clearer signage and a more organized layout.
  • The expansion follows 26 openings in May and comes as Burlington grows while many brick-and-mortar chains contract; company sales rose from $9.7 billion in 2023 to $11.5 billion in 2025.
