Burlington Coat Factory Company Description
Burlington Coat Factory Warehouse has two de facto mottos: "not affiliated with Burlington Industries" (thanks to a 1981 trademark-infringement lawsuit settlement) and "We sell more than coats." The company operates about 435 no-frills retail stores offering off-price current, brand-name clothing. Although it is one of the nation's largest coat sellers, the stores also sells children's apparel, bath items, furniture, gifts, jewelry, linens, and shoes. The business operates under the names Burlington Coat Factory (98% of sales), Cohoes Fashions, MJM Designer Shoes, and Super Baby Depot in some 45 states and Puerto Rico. Founded in 1972, Burlington is owned by affiliates of buyout firm Bain Capital.
