A national store for clothing and other goods has set an opening date for a new Columbia store.

Burlington, which is known for its deals and discounts on name-brand items, will open a new store on Saturday, Nov. 1 at 6880 Garners Ferry Road. That’s in the Landmark Square shopping center, not far from the Dorn Veterans Affairs Hospital.

“Our goal is to continue to offer area residents tremendous value on brand name merchandise for the entire family and home,” Burlington CEO Michael O’Sullivan said in a statement. “We’re continuing to expand our footprint across the country and are excited to be opening a new store in Columbia, SC. We look forward to giving local customers the chance to discover big savings on a wide range of products.”

This will be the 14th Burlington store in South Carolina. The company has more than 1,100 store across the U.S., Burlington noted in a release. Other Midlands locations include a spot at Dutch Square Center mall and one on Sunset Boulevard in Lexington.

Burlington carries clothing for men, women and kids, as well as personal care products, home office goods, some electronics and more. It was formerly known as “Burlington Coat Factory” but has been known simply as Burlington for several years now.

Garners Ferry Road is a very busy corridor lined with restaurants, stores and various other businesses. More than 48,000 cars per day travel the section of Garners Ferry near Dorn VA hospital, according to state Department of Transportation data, making it one of the busiest non-interstate roads in the Midlands.
