The discount clothing retailer will lease space formerly occupied by Dillard’s, a department store that closed at the site in 2008. Renovations are underway. Burlington previously announced plans to open a Middletown location in July.
The new opening is key to the mall’s redevelopment plans, since the mall and former Dillard’s store were purchased by California-based developer SA Mary Ohio LLC.
The new store will create 50 to 100 new jobs and will be one of 20 Burlington locations in Ohio, according to New Jersey-based Burlington Stores Inc.
