Burlington Stores breaks ground on distribution center in Buckeye

PHOENIX — Burlington Stores celebrated its groundbreaking on a new distribution center in Buckeye that is expected to be open in 2028.

The new center will be the “company’s most advanced to date,” with smarter sorting systems, enhanced workstations and “custom software to streamline daily operations,” a Wednesday press release said.

“This project is more than just a logistics center; it’s an employment hub that brings meaningful job opportunities to Buckeye. With thousands of positions, it gives our residents the chance to build careers closer to home and spend less time commuting outside the city,” Buckeye Mayor Eric Orsborn said in the release. “Located in a prime area inside the Westpark 360 Industrial Park, this facility will help spark additional growth along a key corridor for the city.

“Investments like this are critical to strengthening our local economy and moving us toward a future where Buckeye is not only a great place to live, but a place where people can work and grow as well.”

The new distribution center will have wider, more organized aisles with bold signs to make it easier for customers to find what they want.

With the two-million-square-foot distribution center coming in 2028, Burlington plans to open 110 new stores nationwide by the end of 2026, which will all feature the off-price retailer’s new store layout.

“We are really excited to break ground on this innovative distribution center optimized for off-price retail,” Greg Shultz, Executive Vice President & Chief Supply Chain Officer at Burlington, said. “This new distribution center is designed with advanced systems and improved processes to drive increased speed, flexibility and efficiency.

“Burlington offers a wide array of top-quality branded merchandise for the whole family and home, and as our brand continues to grow and evolve, it is imperative that our supply chain infrastructure does as well.”
