Burlington Store To Open In Cromwell: Report

CROMWELL, CT — A new Burlington department store is expected to move into the Cromwell Square shopping plaza on Shunpike Road around November, according to the Middletown Press.

The Press reported the 40,000-square-foot store would occupy a portion of the former Kmart building next to Marshalls.

Cromwell Councilman James Demetriades said final approval of the project is contingent on the town granting Burlington a permit and the company delivering building components, according to the Press.

"Burlington Stores began in 1972 as a family run business, with one store in Burlington, New Jersey," reads a post on the company's website. "In those early days, serving the customer was about delivering a broad selection of off-price coats and outerwear. Our name was Burlington Coat Factory, and it was an immediate success. We started opening more stores across the U.S. and expanded our product assortment to include ladies’ sportswear, men’s active wear, and children’s apparel, staying true to our off-price model. In the ensuing four decades, our product selection has grown to include baby, home, beauty and our name changed to Burlington Stores to reflect the breadth of our product offerings."
