What we shared in June has come true. Burlington Stores, one of the few growing chains in the retail clothing industry, is opening its new store this month at 1400 Gemini Place Road.
The new story is located in a 38,000 square foot building which was former home of Toys R Us. This is Burlington’s fourth store in central Ohio; the others are in Hillard, East Main Street, and on Dublin-Granville Road.
Toys R Us occupied the space until June 2018, after which it was used for “pop up,” temporary stores. The structure was built in 2008.
Scioto River Sweep
The Delaware General Health District’s Keep Delaware County Beautiful program is seeking volunteers to help pick trash out of the Scioto River on September 7. The Scioto River Sweep will take place that day from 9:00 AM to Noon.
According to its website, “Burlington Stores began in 1972 as a family run business, with one store in Burlington, New Jersey. In those early days, serving the customer was about delivering a broad selection of off-price coats and outerwear. Our name was Burlington Coat Factory, and it was an immediate success. We started opening more stores across the U.S. and expanded our product assortment to include ladies’ sportswear, men’s active wear, and children’s apparel, staying true to our off-price model. In the ensuing four decades, our product selection has grown to include baby, home, beauty and our name changed to Burlington Stores to reflect the breadth of our product offerings.”
