Company history
Burlington Stores traces its origins to 1972, when the first Burlington Coat Factory opened in Burlington, New Jersey, selling discounted coats and outerwear. The company was founded by the Milstein family. In the following decades it broadened its merchandise beyond coats; by 1989 it had 134 stores in 37 states, and by 2005 it had 362 stores in 42 states.[22][23]
In 2006, affiliates of Bain Capital acquired the company in a transaction that took it private. Burlington returned to the public markets in October 2013, listing on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol BURL. By early 2014, it operated 521 stores and sold a wider range of apparel, footwear, accessories, baby products, and home goods.[23][24][25][26]
A later leadership milestone came in September 2019, when Michael O’Sullivan began serving as CEO.[27][28] [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][22][23][27][28]
