(NEXSTAR) — In a year full of store closures, you may be shocked to hear of a retailer other than Spirit Halloween opening new locations. One off-price retailer is preparing to open dozens of locations over the next two months.
Burlington already has more than 1,100 stores in the U.S., covering nearly every state. The discount retailer announced plans in 2020 to open 2,000 stores long-term. Since then, the company has opened several smaller format stores, mimicking moves by other retailers.

Amazon’s Zoox enters robotaxi race, launches in Las Vegas
At least 11 of the new Burlington stores — North Highlands, Fresno, North Haven, Dalton, Revere, Las Vegas, North Bergen, Arden, Columbia, a Houston store, Arlington — appear to be a former home to Big Lots, which shuttered all of its stores after filing for bankruptcy last year (some have since reopened under new ownership).
Five others — City of Industry, Tampa, Idaho Falls, Baton Rouge, Warrington — previously had Bed Bath & Beyond locations. The retailer filed for bankruptcy in 2023 and closed all of its stores, though it did recently reopen a brick-and-mortar store.
Two additional Burlington stores — a Chicago location and Livonia — are opening in buildings that used to be Party City stores. The party goods retailer announced late last year that it was going out of business. Numerous companies were quick to snap up its abandoned storefronts.
