The company in March said that it planned to open 110 net new stores, plus a new distribution center in Savannah, Georgia, in its fiscal year 2026 that will end on Jan. 30, 2027.
Burlington operated 1,212 stores at the end of the fourth quarter of its fiscal year 2025, which covered 46 states as well as Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico.
