Burlington Coat Factory

Discount clothing retailer

The Burlington Coat Factory — which was not affiliated with the fabric maker Burlington Industries — thrived by placing large orders for merchandise directly from manufacturers, for department stores’ unsold seasonal items and for other surplus products, and then selling the goods at a 20 to 60 percent discount from retail prices. The firm went public in 1983 and sold it to Bain Capital, an investment firm, in 2006.
