Burlington To Open New Waterbury Store
Burlington, a discount store chain offering name-brand apparel for men, women and children as well as household items, recently announced plans to open a new Waterbury store in August.
The planned opening is a relocation of the company's current store at 475 Union Street to a new nearby location in the Brass Mill Commons at 185 Union Street, according to additional press materials provided by the company.
A Burlington spokesperson confirmed Wednesday to Patch the current store at 475 Union Street is set to close, however the company was thrilled to maintain its footprint in the city of Waterbury.
According to the spokesperson, the new store will employ between 65 and 75 people.
Employees of the company's current Waterbury store have been notified about the relocation and offered positions at the new store, the spokesperson said. Anyone interested in applying can do so at the company's website.
"Residents can continue to look forward to everyday low prices on a wide selection of brand-name merchandise for the entire family and home," the spokesperson said to Patch.
Bold New Upgrades
The new Waterbury location will also feature a reimagined store layout and a new store logo that reads "Deals. Brands. WOW!" as part of Burlington's broader initiative to elevate the in-store shopping experience, according to the company.
All new Burlington stores now open in a refreshed format featuring thoughtfully organized aisles and bold signage, making it easier to navigate the store and get inspiration for the latest must-have trends, according to the company.
While approximately half of the chain's existing locations have already been converted, the remaining stores are expected to transition to the new format by the end of 2026, the company noted.
The new store brings the total number of Burlington stores in Connecticut to 17. Overall, the company currently operates more than 1,115 stores nationwide.
This new Waterbury store plans to "surprise and delight area residents" with items such as fashionable women's apparel and accessories, menswear, comfortable and affordable items for kids, footwear, beauty and fragrance essentials, affordable baby items, home décor and pet care items and toys, according to Burlington.
