Burlington to Open Outlet in Downtown Los Angeles
Burlington Stores, which has more than 60 outposts in California, is opening a new retail center in the heart of downtown Los Angeles.
The company announced the store, located at 309 W. Seventh St., will open sometime this fall. A banner out front noted that the company was starting to hire 50 to 100 employees for the new location, which is in the basement of the St. Vincent Jewelry Center.
The 56,565-square-foot space, once occupied by a Big Lots, will have room for discounted apparel for women, men, juniors and children as well as a corner for furniture and home accessories.
“We are thrilled to open a new Burlington in the Los Angeles community,” said Tom Kingsbury, chairman and chief executive of Burlington Stores,
Burlington is joining other discount retail chains that have discovered downtown Los Angeles. Ross Dress for Less and a Gap Factory Store are located around the corner on Broadway between Seventh and Eighth streets.
