Burlington Stores Inc. has announced the relocation of an existing store in Lakeland. The new location is set to open in the fall.

The off-price retailer said it will open a new store at 4011 U.S. 98 in North Lakeland at the Shoppes of Lakeland, a center that includes Target, Ashley Furniture and Michael's, a press release said. This is a relocation of the current store in Lakeland Square mall, 3800 US 98 N., Suite 510. Burlington has been in that location since late 2007.

"At Burlington, customers will be amazed to find their favorite brands and the latest trends at a fantastic value with fresh, seasonal items arriving regularly," the retailer said, adding it offers up to a 60% savings on its name brand merchandise compared with other retailers.
