Burlington Store In Howell Commons Set To Open This Spring

HOWELL, NJ - Discount apparel, accessories and home decor chain Burlington will be adding two locations in Central Jersey later this year.

Formerly known as Burlington Coat Factory, the chain will be opening two new sites by the Jersey Shore this spring: one in Howell Commons and one in Brick Plaza.

Both stores are slated to open March 5, according to Burlington’s website.

A third site in Ledgewood, located in Morris County, is set to open its doors March 19. A Secaucus store is also in the works, scheduled to open sometime in June.

According to an Asbury Park Press report, the Route 9 Howell location will be found inside a space that once belonged to Famous Footwear, which has since relocated elsewhere in the plaza.

The retailer has another store in Brick (in Bay Harbor Plaza) as well as locations in Freehold, Toms River, Ocean, East Windsor, East Brunswick and Hazlet.

But while Burlington continues to expand its reach in New Jersey, a slew of other brands are scaling back in 2021. Last year saw a string of popular stores shutter storefronts in Howell and beyond, including Petco, Pier 1 Imports, Justice, Bed Bath & Beyond, Payless ShoeSource and Boston Market.

An Old Navy location at Howell Commons is still under construction. No opening date has been announced as of publication.
