Burlington plans 110 net new stores as part of fiscal year 2026 expansion

U.S. Bank Asset Manager Group senior investment strategy director Rob Haworth discusses consumer discretionary stocks and sector on The Claman Countdown.

Discount retailer Burlington is planning to open more than two dozen stores in 20 states this month as the company continues to expand its footprint with over 1,000 locations around the country.

The company in March said that it planned to open 110 net new stores, plus a new distribution center in Savannah, Georgia, in its fiscal year 2026 that will end on Jan. 30, 2027.

Burlington operated 1,212 stores at the end of the fourth quarter of its fiscal year 2025, which covered 46 states as well as Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico.

Grand openings are expected to begin with four occurring on May 8, including Santa Clarita, California, Columbus, Ohio, along with two more locations in the communities of Kent and Longview, Washington.
