In conjunction with Related Companies, Burlington Coat Factory, unveiled plans to open a 74,000 s/f store in the Gateway Center at Bronx Terminal Market (610 Gateway Center Blvd.) in the spring of next year. The new store is one of the retailer's first location in the borough and the 27th in the state. When open, the store will employ 100 sales and management associates.
"We are thrilled to open a new store in the Bronx and excited to be a part of such an innovative retail concept that offers an urban design and vertical shopping center experience with a suburban feel," said Thomas Kingsbury, president and CEO of Burlington Coat Factory. "Burlington will not only bring new jobs to this vibrant community, but it will also offer an affordable shopping experience."
Burlington's new store, to be located on the second floor of the northern building, will feature a wide variety of the latest trends in ladies' dresses, suits, sportswear, maternity and accessories; top name men's suits and sportswear; quality, name brand shoes for men, women and children; famous label clothes for kids of all ages, and coats, of course. The store will also include home décor and Baby Depot departments.
Gateway Center at Bronx Terminal Market is a one million s/f large format retail center owned and managed by Related Companies. The center is one of the largest and most innovative retail concepts in the New York metropolitan area. Before its arrival, the 1.4 million residents of the Bronx had to travel to outlying areas like Yonkers, Westchester or Paramus to shop national retailers.
"We are thrilled with the continued response from the retail community at GatewayCenter at Bronx Terminal Market. We strive to work with retailers that meet the needs and desires of the local community. Burlington certainly offers a great mix of merchandise at prices that shoppers are sure to appreciate, making them an ideal fit for this location," said Glenn Goldstein, president of Related Retail.
