Second Burlington Storefront Coming To Green Acres Mall, Town Announces

VALLEY STREAM, NY — The Hempstead Industrial Development Agency approved a lease to open a second Burlington location at the Green Acres Mall Monday, clearing the way for the discount coat sales giant to move into an almost 93,000-square-foot space at the mall.

The first Burlington opened in Green Acres Commons — the outdoor shopping center adjacent to Green Acres Mall — in 2016, officials said.

Formerly billed as "Burlington Coat Factory," Burlington rebranded in the mid-2010s in an effort to "communicate that Burlington is 'more than just coats.'"

The more-than-just-coat seller opened more than 100 new locations in each of 2024 and 2025, per company information,

The lease agreement comes just over two years after the IDA extended a pair of payment in lieu of taxes agreement to Burlington, which had previously been signed in 2015, town officials said.

“This new lease with Burlington is evidence of Green Acres’ attractiveness to both consumers and retailers, justifying the IDA’s continued investment in these shopper centers,” IDA CEO Fred Parola said.
