Delivering Good awards dinner raises record-breaking $2.7 million! It's always been one of my favorite non-profit organizations and last night's fabulous Delivering Good awards dinner reinforced its power. Honoring two retail execs who epitomize the spirit of giving back, (Libby Wadle, CEO of J.Crew Group and recipient of the Impact award, and Michael O'Sullivan, CEO of Burlington Stores who received the Vanguard award for his two-decade partnership with Delivering Good), these honorees accepted their awards with humility and grace. Says Matt Fasciano, Delivering Good's president and CEO, "We are especially proud to honor Libby and Michael, two exceptional leaders whose commitment to service reflects the very best of our community. Their leadership demonstrates how businesses can be a force for good, and how partnerships can transform lives." Delivering Good evolved from K.I.D.S (Kids in Distressed Situations), a non-profit founded in 1985 which merged with Fashion Delivers in 2014, ultimately rebranding as Delivering Good in 2017. I remember back in August 2005 when Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans. Fashion industry exec Allan Ellinger was honored with MR's 2025 Lifetime Achievement Award & is also still the Senior Managing Partner at MMG Advisors, immediately gathering all the retailers and wholesalers he knew, convincing them to donate unused excess inventory to help Katrina's victims rebuild their lives. The organization has evolved over the years, but the mission remains unchanged: a commitment to help individuals and families facing hardship move forward with confidence, hope and opportunity. Says Fasciano, "Through your support, Delivering Good is able to provide more than essential items. Together, we are opening doors, restoring dignity, and creating pathways to a brighter future." He continues to make an important point: "This evening is also a reminder that something as simple as new clothing can make a profound difference. Brand new shirts and shorts can help a child start the school year with confidence. An essential item at the right moment can spark hope, create opportunity, and change the course of a life." The numbers talk: Since its founding in 1985, Delivering Good has provided more than $3 billion worth of donated new merchandise free of charge to children and adults dealing with poverty, disaster and other challenges. They do this via a distribution network of local community partners in the U.S. and beyond. Three billion in donated product; 33 million people supported. A full 99 cents of every dollar goes to fund DG's various programs: $500 means new socks for 100 adults; $1500 can equip 20 people recovering from housing insecurity. Special thanks for this magical evening to Gotham Hall for dinner, drinks, and decor, to the evening's auctioneer Lydia Fenet, to the Avenue J Florist and especially to Delivering Good's many generous sponsors who continue to prove that giving back is good for business, and good for the soul.

[EXCLUSIVE] Burlington to open new store in Atlanta suburb. Off-price retailer Burlington apparently has Georgia on its mind. The retailer has opened more than a half dozen new stores in metro Atlanta in recent years and now has another in its immediate pipeline. Planning documents reviewed by ToNeTo Atlanta indicate that the Burlington, N.J.-based retailer plans to open a new store next year in Peachtree Corners. The new Burlington is planned for Village at Peachtree Corners (5270 Peachtree Parkway) where the off-price retailer will open in a space most recently home to pOpshelf and previously home to defunct off-price retailer Tuesday Morning. The anchor space measures 20,184 square feet according to the property's site plan and is located beside a Lidl grocery store. Burlington, formerly Burlington Coat Factory, has been on a significant growth spurt recently and has added several new stores to metro Atlanta. The struggles of other retailers including Office Depot, Bed Bath & Beyond and JOANN have played a pivotal role in providing appealing spaces for Burlington to backfill. Among the retailer's newer stores in metro Atlanta are stores in Suburban Plaza in Decatur (former JOANN), Akers Mill Square (former Bed Bath & Beyond), Edgewood Retail District (former Bed Bath & Beyond), Briarcliff Village in Tucker (former Office Depot) and Northeast Plaza in Brookhaven. ToNeTo Atlanta reported March 31 that Burlington is also slated to bring a new store to East Cobb Station along Roswell Road in Marietta. Burlington will on October 30 open a new store in Augusta, its second in the area, marking the chain's 46th overall in the state. Are you excited to see Burlington expanding?

Burlington coming to California, taking over former Bed Bath & Beyond space. The retailer is slated to fill the former Bed Bath & Beyond space, adding clothing, accessories and home goods to the center's shopping mix. CALIFORNIA, Md. - Shoppers searching for a new outfit, a seasonal home refresh or an unexpected bargain could soon have another stop in Wildewood Center. Burlington is identified as a newly signed tenant in leasing materials published by commercial real estate brokerage KLNB, signaling a new chapter for the shopping center's former Bed Bath & Beyond space. The brochure features Burlington's logo alongside the words "JUST SIGNED" and lists the retailer in unit 2010, a 23,400-square-foot space between JCPenney and DSW. Wildewood Center is at 23415 Three Notch Road. For shoppers, the draw extends beyond the coats long associated with the Burlington name. According to the company's website, the off-price retailer offers merchandise for the entire family and home, with departments including clothing, shoes, handbags, accessories, beauty products, baby items and home goods. That mix could make the planned location a stop for everything from updating a wardrobe to finding a finishing touch for a room. Its placement would also put another browsing destination within the same center as JCPenney, DSW, Belk and Ulta Beauty - giving shoppers more opportunities to turn a single errand into an afternoon of exploring the racks. Those retailers are listed in KLNB's tenant directory. Shoppers will have to wait a little longer to mark their calendars, however. KLNB's brochure does not provide an opening date or construction schedule, and Burlington's official Maryland store directory did not list a California location when checked for this article. A grand opening date has not been independently confirmed. Got a tip or photo? Text The Baynet at 888-871-NEWS (6397) or email [email protected].
Burlington to open in the Gessner Center. Burlington is planned to open next summer. Published Date: October 23, 2026, 1:38 AM EDT Burlington is working on another Houston opening. According to a Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation permit, the national off-price retailer is planning to open a store in the Gessner Center at 8201 S. Gessner Dr. The permit further states that construction for the new Burlington store is expected to start in early February next year and wrap up by early August 2027. If permitting goes smoothly and the estimated $750,000 construction project stays on track, the new Burlington should open in the Gessner Center by next Summer. Julie Charo was listed on the permit. What Now Houston reached out to Charo and Burlington's Houston Operations Manager, Rashaan Dennis, to find out more about the upcoming opening. Unfortunately, Whatnow Media Group did not hear back from either by the time of this publication. "We are a growing company dedicated to providing great merchandise values to people nationwide," the company's website read. "We are bound to open a new store in your area. Come shop us and see what all the excitement is about. Do not miss out on the great deals near you!" Burlington (originally known as Burlington Coat Factory) began in 1972 when founders Monroe and Henrietta Milstein purchased a former dress factory in Burlington, New Jersey, using $75,000 from Henrietta's savings. The store initially sold discounted, first-quality coats and outerwear bought in bulk directly from manufacturers. By the late 1970s and 1980s, the company expanded its inventory to include sportswear, suits, children's apparel, and home goods. Milstein took the company public for the first time with an initial public offering (IPO) in June 1983. By 1990, sales surpassed $600 million, and by 1994 the chain had more than 180 stores across dozens of states and reached $1 billion in sales. "For over half a century, we have been delivering value to our customers, associates and our communities," the Burlington website reads. "With our every day low prices on top brand name merchandise for the entire family and home, combined with our dedication to our thousands of associates nationwide and our ability to make an impact in the communities where we live and work, Burlington is proud to be an award-winning off-price retailer." Headquartered in Burlington Township, New Jersey, the company now operates more than 1,200 Burlington stores across 47 states and Puerto Rico, ranking as the third-largest off-price retailer in the United States behind TJX (TJ Maxx/Marshalls) and Ross Stores. There are about 164 Burlington stores in Texas, with at least 35 stores in the Greater Houston region. What Now also reached out to Burlington President and COO Travis Marquette to learn more about expansion plans. But Marquette did not get back to Whatnow Media Group by the time of this publication. Burlington is anticipated to open in the Gessner Center at 8201 S. Gessner Dr. by next Summer. (This is a developing story.
