Popular store getting new home at Greece Ridge mall

Burlington (formerly known as Burlington Coat Factory) is moving within The Mall at Greece Ridge.

It now occupies 74,780 square feet of space at 296 Greece Ridge Center Drive, near Dick’s Sporting Goods.

This spring, it will move into to the former Bed Bath & Beyond at 112 Greece Ridge Center Drive, which measures 24,791 square feet and is near BTB Wood Fired Pizza Bar & Grill.

A spokesperson for Burlington could not say why the store is moving to a smaller space.

In recent years, the off-price retail chain — which sells clothing, home décor and other items — has thrived, despite discontinuing online sales right before the pandemic hit. The company’s stock soared after it posted better-than-expected earnings in the third quarter of 2023.

No moving date has been announced yet for the Greece store, which continues to operate at its current location.

Burlington has two other stores in the Rochester market: at 1902 Empire Blvd. in Penfield near Webster; and at 654 Hylan Drive, Henrietta.
