Burlington Coat Factory the

Super slow check out. Even when the line is so big they will only have one cashier open. A lot of other workers just walking around doing nothing. This store has to do a better job of how can they use their workers more efficiently.

It wasn’t in the plan to go there, but I was on the CTA 47 bus heading east. I still have a gift card I received some time ago and thought I would make a brief stop to check it out.
Well, it wasn’t an exactly a «brief stop;» I did spend some quality time in the store browsing through merchandize that was pertinent to my interests.
I saw a cute tank, but it was slightly stained. I had to walk away from it, unfortunately.
When a Burlington Coat Factory (I will affectionately refer as BCF from now on) has items that have been marked down, the percentage of markdown isn’t going to be significant. Normally, this is within a range of $ 1 to $ 10 deduction. However, they do initially set their prices on a lower side. An item will have a manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP) listed and the BCF price on a bold-​print to illustrate how much you will save when you decide to purchase this item.
Sometimes, a MSRP is set unreasonably high. Realistically, the qualities of most merchandize and their MSRP weren’t always proportional. If you’re not picky and want something newer, not necessarily better, than what you will find in a thrift store, you may be a BCF client. Otherwise, consider shopping at a discount retailer that is one (1) grade elevated, such as T.J. Maxx and Marshall’s.
I did reluctantly purchase a beret since I had to use up the balance of my gift card.
Overall, this particular location serves the purposes for the residents in the nearby neighborhoods. This strip mall where this BCF is located is called «the Yards Plaza,» on corner of 47^th. and Damen. If you have a chance, check out the new BCF in the south loop, on Canal and Clinton. That’s a much better location.

I recently ended up in this area by chance and decided to stop by this Burlington coat factory. I typically frequent the BCF on Canal street in Chicago.
I thought this store had a pretty good selection of merchandise.
Some of the things that I was not able to find at canal street were plentiful here. The store is not as orderly as the canal street store but still worth a good look.
They have perhaps the best gift bag selection I have ever seen. Also, I could not believe how many hats, scarfs and gloves they still had.
I also found quite a few items that had long sold out at the Canal location, like sweaters and jackets.
I had one of the most phenomenal finds in their coat section. I was able to buy a 450 dollar wool coat for 60 dollars. This coat was something that I had recently seen at Macy’s and I could not believe my good fortune to find the same coat for much less.
This place did not disappoint. I will be back

This store location is just the worst. I blame management…
This Burlington’s coat selection is pitiful. Like seriously there were barely any decent looking coats on the racks (or floors) and fall is already here. Also there’s no size variety. I know the area is predominantly Hispanic but apparently management doesn’t realize that thin women do come in every color and ethnicity.
This place gets two stars for the exit being easy to locate to get the hell outta this dead end.

I was just there yesterday. My shopping experience was «ehhh»…I already know off the bat this one is ghetto so expect to be surrounded by parents who can’t control their kids and run around the aisles bumping into you. The woman’s dressing room has broken doors and the floors dont look so clean. The checkout line was a 15 minute wait for 2 people in line… talk about slow cashiers! Even when the cashier was ringing up and bagging my items she was soooo S L O W… You must go here only if you have lots of patience and if absolutely necessary. I would also recommend to bring plenty of hand sanitizer to avoid getting some type of disease.

ZERO stars. The aisles aren’t kept clean, the selections are out of style, and the worst thing about this store are the employees. I spent 20 minutes in line while there were 4 cashiers. They’re so slow! I understand interacting with customers but there is a difference between being friendly and LAZY which is just what every single one of those employees are; LAZY!!! I do not recommend shopping here.

If I could put zero stars I would do it! Don’t go to this particular location! Save your teeth and probably your life. A ghetto 300 pounds employee tried to hit me in that store, but she was held by 4 other employees, after a dispute over a security guard trying to hit another customer.
I will never return to that store full of criminal employees acting as gang members with the customers while the manager cries over it and the store falls apart. That store is a chaos! Security guy yelling to customers while threatening to punch them with a closed fist!
No thanks, they will never ever have my businesses again. If you don’t like to be treated as if the store employees are your boss, then don’t go there! They get violent in that store/​neighborhood. Go to another one or don’t tell me that I didn’t warn You!!!

This place has come a long way. They completely revamped the inside and its way nicer. Very good prices and I always love coming here. Good suits, clothes, coats and what not. I will continue coming here.

I like their baby selection here, carters clothing, name brand bottles, and lots of major baby stuff. Good selection on strollers, high chairs etc. I do think that most of the items they carry here are last seasons, hence the lower prices. Today I bought a diaper bag for alot cheaper then I could find else were. I do have to agree that checkout is really ridiculous, super, super slow. The huge line almost makes you wanna walk out empty handed. Also big selection of shoes. Overall I think it is worth to be patient, especially if on a budget.

The lines are always slow and the clothing selection is average, but I LOVE that I can always find a good pair of boots that fit my sexy calf’s and shoes that fit my fiancé’s big arse feet! we usually have to order online for his shoes.

Abysmal selection, unless you like Baby Phat and late model Marc Echo. I like Burlington for a number of things: name brand perfume (my favorite is an Elizabeth Taylor version called Diamonds and Rubies that smells just divine on me), bras, semi-​designer super clearance past season items.
This location is filled with moronic customers and workers. It is hard to keep your lunch down when you hear someone screaming «TyJuan, TyJuan I need my Link Card so I can go buy some Cheetos.’ Just kills the shopping experience for me.
Even worse than the selection is the checkout. The cashiers could not move any slower. R E A L L Y. Not only were there like 10 people in line but the employee was commenting on EVERY single item purchased. This is not a boutique, you are not taking the items home, the customer is not your girlfriend so save the ‘OOOh gurl, that cute’ for when you get off work.

On a quest to find a pair of bridesmaid shoes (a lower end, quality version of a nicer version), I went to this Burlington Coat Factory. Thinking that it would be simple to find the shoes, we headed to the closest one and soon learned that the task at hand would be difficult. Walking in, it’s pretty obvious how disorganized and nasty this store is. Everything seemed thrown around like people just threw aside it in a bid to find what they wanted. The shoe department was an even bigger expression of this throwing around of everything. There must have been a hundred shoes lying in the aisles in total disarray. I couldn’t even remotely locate the pair that was prescribed as the «bridesmaid» shoe. After a few hopeless tours around the shoe department, another location became an option. I definitely wouldn’t return to this store. It was depressing, dark, and organized.

I always thought this place only carried coats. I guess I was mislead by the name. This place actually has it all — clothing, electronics, housewares. It reminds me a lot of Marshalls and TJ Maxx. There’s lots of last season designer items at low prices. Its a nice place to go to get some nice items at great deals.
