What Used To Be Burlington Coat Factory Announces Bridgewater Falls Opening Date

Burlington Stores is thrilled to announce the grand opening of its newest location at Bridgewater Falls, set to commence with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday, May 3rd. Embracing the spirit of community, the national discount retailer will also contribute to a local school as part of this inaugural event.

This new Burlington store is poised to cater to a wide array of needs, offering an extensive selection of footwear, home decor, women’s apparel and accessories, menswear, children’s clothing, and even pet toys. True to its reputation, Burlington prides itself on providing affordable prices for brand-name merchandise, ensuring savings for the entire family and every corner of the home.

Situated at 3451 Princeton Road in Hamilton, the Bridgewater Falls store represents the 31st Burlington establishment in Ohio and adds to the company's expansive network of over 1,000 stores nationwide. Michael O’Sullivan, CEO of Burlington Stores, expresses the company's commitment to extending these savings to local communities, stating, “Our goal is to continue to offer area residents low prices on brand-name merchandise for the entire family and home.”

Operating hours for the Bridgewater Falls location will be from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily, providing ample opportunities for shoppers to explore the store's offerings.
