The South Euclid Burlington store will employ between 50 and 100 people, and begin hiring this fall. Openings will be posted at Burlington's jobs website.
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Off-price retailer Burlington Stores plans to open another Northeast Ohio store at Oakwood Commons in South Euclid in spring 2017.
The 45,000-square-foot store, near the Walmart Supercenter at 1950 Warrensville Center Road, will be Burlington's 22nd store in Ohio.
The store will employ between 50 and 100 people, and begin hiring this fall. Openings will be posted at Burlington's jobs website: https://burlingtonstores.jobs/our-burlington.aspx
Burlington stores sell discounted name-brand women's suits, dresses, sportswear, accessories, menswear, footwear, children's clothing, baby furniture and accessories at Baby Depot, home decor and gifts, and coats at up to 65 percent off other retailers' prices.
"We are thrilled to open a new Burlington in the South Euclid community, bringing even more jobs to the neighborhood and providing local residents with a valued shopping experience," said Burlington Stores Chairman and Chief Executive Tom Kingsbury, in a written announcement.
Burlington, based in Burlington Township, New Jersey, and formerly called Burlington Coat Factory, has 564 stores in 45 States and Puerto Rico.
Its Northeast Ohio locations include Steelyard Commons in Cleveland, Canton, Cuyahoga Falls, Euclid, Macedonia, Mentor, Middleburg Heights, Niles, North Olmsted, and Sheffield Village.
Burlington Stores Inc., whose shares trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "BURL," is scheduled to report its fourth quarter and fiscal 2015 earnings before the markets open on Thursday, March 3.
The company last month told shareholders that it expects fourth-quarter net sales to increase about 3.7 percent, and sales at stores open at least a year to be about flat.
Kingsbury said at the time that: "While we are pleased with the strong response to our gift assortments especially in fragrances, bath and body and home, these increases have been offset by headwinds affecting our cold weather assortments, especially in coats and outerwear. Accordingly, we now expect comparable store sales to be approximately flat for the fourth quarter."
Excluding cold weather merchandise, sales at stores open at least a year would increase about 4 percent. "We remain very excited about the abundance of merchandise available in the marketplace which is expected to positively impact 2016," he said.
