Burlington Coat Factory

Eh. Not the best Burlington I’ve been to. It did have some finds, just not a tremendous amount. The coat selection was scanty — for Burlington COAT factory, that was odd for me. And there were hardly any cute shoes in my 7.5. The handbags are all nice, though and although it took a while to get checked out, the cashier was nice as well.

Wide variety of designer clothes. Was able to find some sweet Michael Kors pants. The employees were a bit stand offish and rude but I credit that to the type of clientele that Burlington caters to. Overall great experience though and I would highly recommend this Burlington to friends.

Today, i went to this great chain, but not many people, the dress pants racks didnt have 29 waists and very little to choose from for clothes. But, the spices and $$$ was amazing. Spent good money here, with a buddy. Loved the cashiers and their happiness.

Okay, so I’m a late bloomer and just now discovering this place. Maybe that’s because this is the first time in my life I’ve ever actually been excited to buy clothes, hence I ventured out to try new places and found this. I love it because it’s one of the few giant discount places near where I live (TJ Maxx and Gordman’s are soooo far away… I don’t love shopping for clothes that much yet…)
I think it’s pretty well known that this place isn’t just a coat store, but in case you didn’t know, this place is more like a giant Ross/​TJ Maxx/​etc. Also, it’s not a factory. The actual «Burlington Coat Factory» factory is probably a sweat shop in Malaysia, which is why they can charge stupidly low prices.
Is the store the biggest cluster fuck you’ve ever seen? Yes. It looks like a tornado took a shit on that store. But it’s not so bad that you can’t have fun shopping in there. Maybe don’t go if you are desperate to find a specific item, but if you’re in need of some retail therapy, this place is dynamo.
Their clothes are on the young side, but I’ve found some work-​worthy duds in here. Also a great purse selection. If you’re going to a dance club and want to look like a total and complete skank, this mother ship is calling you home.
Oh, and they carry plus sizes, which automatically makes them jump to the top of a very small list. Skinny bitches probably don’t get too pumped about this place because you guys have more options. We fatties dig through the mess of merchandise with super grateful grins on our rotund, 5-​chin faces.

It’s going back down again. I do think it has to do a lot with Burlington’s customers. Trash everywhere, but I do have to admit the Women’s fitting rooms are better then what they were in the past.

I used to go here alot, but lately its been run very badly, especially during Xmas time. The place is always in disarray. Good place to get shoes, purses, inexpensive clothes. Now I go to the one in Fairview Heights.

Burlington Coat Factory used to be my go to place when I had a couple of bucks in my pocket and a last minute desire for an inexpensive addition to that nights ensemble.
Those days are GONE! The place has always been in disarray, but these days this store is just a HOT MESS.
I’d rather spend an hour bustling through the $ 3 rack at Goodwill than spend hours of frustration tumbling through racks and racks where NOTHING is where it should be.
In addition, if you get to the register and your item doesn’t have a price tag, GOOD LUCK getting anyone to look you in the eye to discuss getting the problem resolved, interrupt their conversation with their peers behind the register, or help get the prices/​tag info in under 15 minutes.
I don’t know how many times I have walked out without the merchandise I had planned to purchase out of sheer frustration. Customer service at this store stinks.

Fashion snobs are turning their nose up at this review, but I don’t mind. There is one giant reason you need to go to Burlington Coat Factory on Christy: BOOTS.
If you’re like me and you love fashion but don’t make millions, you have to go here for the boots! That’s all I’d recommend shopping for (the only other thing I’ve ever picked up is leggings) but you will walk out with a few different pairs you’ll wear all season long.
The shoe department as a whole is a mess — by mess I mean shoe boxes and shoes all over the floor. You might even have to kick your way to the boots section there is so much crap on the ground. I find it hard to believe that the staff can’t keep control of the area… maybe they have a shoe-​slangin’ monster that lives there… I’m not sure. Once you find the boots, you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
Now don’t go expecting designer items, but do expect to find pairs ranging from dressy to casual, in all different colors. Last week I wore a Ralph Lauren sweater dress with a $ 25 pair of brown boots from Burlington, and I’m convinced they looked better than most other expensive brown boots I’ve seen lately. Funny thing is, I’ve never even looked in their coat section.
