Burlington Store Opening in Pittsfield This Fall
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — A new discount retail store will open in Berkshire Crossing in the next few months.
Burlington Stores Inc. announced that its location at 555 Hubbard Ave. will open in the fall. A spokesperson reported that the new store, in the former Staples, will create 65-75 jobs in the community.
It is said to be a reimagined store with a new layout.
"The Pittsfield location features Burlington's reimagined store layout and new store logo 'Deals. Brands. WOW!' These updates are part of Burlington's broader initiative to elevate the in-store shopping experience," a press release reads.
"All new Burlington stores now open in the refreshed format, featuring thoughtfully organized aisles and bold signage making it easier than ever to navigate the store and get inspiration for the latest must-have trends. While approximately half of the brand'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 started as Burlington Coat Factory in New Jersey more than 50 years ago selling off-price coats out of a factory building. Today, Burlington Stores is a nationally recognized off-price retailer with more than 1,100 stores nationwide.
The Pittsfield store will bring the total number of locations in Massachusetts to 25. It will carry ladies' apparel, including petites and plus sizes, menswear with big and tall sizing options, kids' and juniors' apparel, baby items, footwear, beauty and fragrance, home decor, and pet care and toys.
Earlier this year, the Zoning Board of Appeals approved a sign exemption for Burlington Stores that allows the company to place a sign larger than 100 square feet on the space. The nearly 147-square-foot sign on the storefront reads "Burlington" with "Deals. Brands. WOW!" underneath.
"As Burlington continues to expand its footprint, they remain focused on finding great talent to join their growing company," the press release reads.
While local openings are not yet listed, interested applicants are encouraged to visit BurlingtonStores.jobs to apply online.
Last fall, signs appeared on Staples' front window indicating it would close on Dec. 13.
