Burlington

I usually shop at the store in Fairfax but gave this one a try today. Big mistake. After I swiped my card and chose debit and entered my pin, the girl on the register said debit wasnt working on their system so I had to swipe again using credit. Well it went through both times so I was charged twice. Didnt realize this until I got home. Then the zipper on the jeans I brought broke right after I ripped the taggs off of course. 40 dollars down the drain and a lesson learned.

I did not want to leave this store today. A million things to look at. The store is huge. Great sales and clearance items! Took a couple things home as did my daughter and her friend!

I’ve come here many times and the place keeps getting worse. They are not organized and the kids toys are opened, broken and scattered everywhere. I went in there to get earing and all of the boxes were missing earings. The discounts are good but it’s not worth all the husle looking through racks and racks of clothes.

The prices are good, though the stock and staff are hit and miss. The few times I have gone in I was not able to find what I was looking for. On top of that the front end staff are slow and can not handle stress. Multiple times I have sat in line for more than 15 minutes with just three people in front of me. YIKES!
On top of that parts of the store seem cluttered and very unorganized.
I guess the only good thing here is the low prices?

Although yes it is quiet messy I enjoy looking through all the stuff. I always gety winter coats from here and they last for years I can also expect to find shoes that arecnormally very expensive in there for really cheap. I will admit it is junky and the lines are always long but it is pretty good

I’ve got a bit of a love/​hate relationship with Burlington Coat Factory. And it’s not because finding clothes that I want to buy can be, as others noted, hit or miss. I find that BCF has the best collection of big and tall (i.e. fat men) clothing of any of the discount clothing chains, so regardless of what mode my body is in, I can find something I like there.
However, I have found that every BCF I have been in has been an absolute mess. I don’t mean sizes mixed up — that doesn’t bother me. I’ve never seen a department store that has everything in the right place. I’m talking about product strewn haphazardly about, stuff lying on the floors … they typically look more like my wife’s closet than a retail store. And every BCF I have ever been to smells like a stale wet fart. Seriously.
So imagine my joy when I walked into the Manassas BCF for the first time and got ZERO hint of stale fart mustiness. The store was clean and generally well organized. Sure, I had to do a bit of size hunting, mainly with dress shirts, but it was less of a scavenger hunt than usual. This store is smaller than any other BCF I have been into, and thus had more limited selection, but I was still able to find ample clothing to spruce up my wardrobe — 3 dress shirts, 4 short sleeve polos, 3 dress pants, a new belt and, of course, another UVa t-​shirt to add to my collection.
Check-​out, like most BCFs, was a tad on the slow side, but I was able to get in, search, try on, and get out within an hour. The entire trip was a win in my book.

It’s a decent place with some hit and misses clothing. Good prices. For what it is. And they always have good stuff on clearance.

Burlington’s just feels old! As if they never changed their format or anything since 1990 — I always feel I’m in a time warp when I visit this store. They do have an awesome selection of coats, but other than that I don’t EVER go there for anything else…

As the other reviewer noted, Burlington Coat Factory is hit or miss.
I wanted a blue blazer that is 100% wool because wool looks so much more «finished» than ⁶⁰⁄₄₀ polyester blend. They had what I was looking for today in my size (46 Short), so when a store has my size, I buy it. The price was $ 90 which I considered very good compared to other retailers, IF they have my size, and they usually don’t.
I was killing time while having my car serviced nearby under warrantee so I had to return from Eastern Panhandle WV 75 miles away, and I have two functions coming up this week where I needed to add this to my «wardrobe» because having recently moved to EPWV there is a deficit of retailers having «dress» clothing because lifestyle here is much more casual. This is underscored by the fact too that there are two Asian dry cleaners in Martinsburg that charge «full price»…that’s it.
I soooo miss having Zips and Dry Clean Depot.

Burlington can be a hit or miss depending on what you’re looking for. It’s mostly a miss for me.
I love shopping for the boyfriend, so I’ll just review the selection of men’s apparel here compared to other discount clothing stores.
Ties: Semi-​decent selection, most ties are under $ 15.
Dress Shirts: Not impressed. Limited brands and colors.
Pants: Overloaded, but most are pleated. Ick.
Accessories: Cluttered to the max. Most are taken out of their original packaging.
Jeans: A few bargains, such as $ 70 DKNY jeans for $ 24. I saw mostly old styles here.
Suits/​Blazers: Better selection than Ross, but not as deeply discounted.
Outerwear: Lots of leather jackets (not his style though). They even have discounted ski apparel in the back.
Shoes: I wouldn’t really bother looking.
Why do I rate this store so low? It’s disorganized BEYOND belief!
I browsed through neckwear, and was about to purchase an item. Turns out that it was placed in the wrong section, and wasn’t on sale. Normally I wouldn’t be annoyed, but so many of their ties are misplaced in that section.
Also expect to find clothing and shoes in the wrong size categories as well.
Employees, please tidy up the store a bit to make browsing a bit more tolerable, especially for male customers. The idea of shopping is already frustrating for some!
