A new Burlington Stores will be opening in Melville next month.
The new 32,314-square-foot Burlington is set to open on Friday, March 6 in the Melville Mall shopping center at 834 Walt Whitman Road. The space was formerly occupied by Macy’s Backstage, which closed early last year.
The new Melville location features Burlington’s reimagined store layout, part of Burlington’s broader initiative to refresh its locations, according to a company statement. About half of the brand’s existing locations have already been converted and the remaining stores are expected to transition to the new format by the end of 2026.
“Delivering incredible value on brand-name and on-trend merchandise is at the heart of what we do,” Michael O’Sullivan, CEO of Burlington Stores, said in the statement. “Opening a new, modernized store in Melville is an exciting step for us as we continue expanding Burlington locations nationwide. We look forward to giving local customers the chance to explore great savings, find fresh brands, and experience our new and improved store design.”
To celebrate the opening of the Melville store, the first 100 customers, aged 18 and up, will get a $10 Bonus Card on Friday, March 6 and Saturday, March 7 to be used toward their purchases.
Burlington will also be donating $5,000 to a nearby high-needs school through their partnership with the national nonprofit Adopt A Classroom Funds, which will be used to provide students with classroom materials. The presentation of the donation to the local school will take place at the Friday morning ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Publicly traded Burlington Stores, Inc., reported fiscal 2024 net sales of $10.6 billion. As of the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2025, the company operated 1,211 stores in 46 states, Washington D.C. and Puerto Rico.
