Company Information

Burlington Coat Factory Warehouse Corporation Company Profile

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 more than 475 no-frills retail stores (averaging 80,000 square feet) offering off-price current, brand-name clothing in about 45 states and Puerto Rico. Although it is one of the nation's largest coat sellers, the stores also offer children's apparel, bath items, furniture, gifts, jewelry, linens, and shoes. Sister chains include a pair of higher-priced Cohoes Fashions shops and about a dozen MJM Designer Shoe stores. Founded in 1972, Burlington is owned by affiliates of buyout firm Bain Capital.
