A major clothing store is expanding in Miami. Where and when the new stores will open
While some familiar chains are shrinking, Burlington is getting as bulky as the coats that once gave the discount retailer its name.
Two new Burlington stores are opening in Miami-Dade County in the fall, boosting the number of stores in Florida to 114. That’s 10 more than last year at this time. Florida has nearly 10% of the 1,020 stores in the continental U.S., and that total has nearly doubled since 2016.
Only Texas and California have more Burlington outlets. The chain opened its first Burlington Coat Factory outlet in New Jersey in 1972.
Burlington at Key Largo’s Tradewinds Mall is in the process of moving into a former Publix location at the shopping complex after the grocer opened a ginormous 64,000 square foot Publix in February. That Keys Burlington is under construction.

Location of new Miami stores
The Miami area has 17 Burlington stores, including outlets in Hialeah, Miami Beach, Miami Gardens, Kendall, North Miami and at Midway Crossings on West Flagler off the Palmetto Expressway that used to be Mall of the Americas and Midway Mall. Sawgrass Mills mall in Sunrise was one of Burlington’s first South Florida locations.

The two new Miami locations will feature a re-imagined store layout that calls attention to its deals with signs that pop: “Deals. Brands. WOW!”
The two new stores are set to open in the fall. Burlington did not release opening dates.
Here’s where the new stores are opening:
▪ At the coming Block 55 at Sawyer’s Walk mixed-use complex at 249 NW Sixth St. in Overtown. That new venue will also include Target, Aldi, Ross Dress for Less as the other anchors.

▪ The Westchester Shopping Center in the former Valsan space at 8508 SW 24th St. in West-Miami-Dade.
What Burlington sells
For the uninitiated, Burlington moved from its emphasis on coats, and dropped “Coat Factory” from its name in 2014. The discount clothing retailer sells toys, footwear, baby goods, home décor items and pet care supplies.
