Burlington Stores Celebrates 15 Years in Puerto Rico

Burlington Stores, a prominent national discount retailer, proudly acknowledges its remarkable 15-year journey in Puerto Rico. To commemorate this significant milestone, the company is launching various community initiatives and making generous donations to impactful local organizations.

Commitment to Community and Charity

As part of their celebration, Burlington has announced a donation of $25,000 to the Fundación Infantil Ronald McDonald (FIRM). This contribution aims to bolster the foundation's vital work in ensuring the well-being of children and families throughout the island. Burlington’s CEO, Michael O'Sullivan, expressed the company's commitment to community service, stating, “We are proud to celebrate more than 15 years in Puerto Rico, and we are dedicated to providing great value both in our stores and to those we serve.”

FIRM has long been an ally in supporting families in need, particularly those with hospitalized children. The collaboration between Burlington and FIRM reflects a deep-rooted commitment to community welfare.

Over the span of 11 years, Burlington's annual toy drive has garnered incredible support from its customers, leading to the collection of over 150,000 toys to uplift children facing hardships. During this year's toy drive, which runs until December 24, customers are encouraged to donate new, unwrapped toys at any Burlington location across Puerto Rico and will receive a 10% discount on their purchase as a token of appreciation.

Mariela Jorge, Executive Director of FIRM, noted, “Every year, the generosity and dedication of Burlington and its customers inspire us to continue our mission of bringing joy and relief to children and families in Puerto Rico.”

Store Enhancements for an Elevated Shopping Experience

In tandem with their charitable efforts, Burlington has implemented significant upgrades across all 22 stores in Puerto Rico. The newly redesigned layouts aim to enhance the overall shopping experience, making it easier for customers to find amazing deals on a wide array of quality brands. The stores now also feature a fresh slogan, “Marcas. Rebajas. WOW!” which reflects Burlington's commitment to offering remarkable discounts.

Exclusive Celebrations

To further engage with the community, Burlington invites shoppers to celebrate its 15-year anniversary from November 22 to 24. Customers can enjoy exclusive giveaways and special offers during this celebratory event.

Burlington’s approach combines the joy of shopping with meaningful contributions, creating a positive impact in Puerto Rico as it continues to expand its reach with plans for new store openings in 2025. As a company listed on the New York Stock Exchange (BURL) and a recognized off-price retailer, Burlington Stores remains a source of fashionable merchandise at exceptional prices, up to 60% off compared to other retailers.
