Burlington Stores is actively pursuing a strategy to own more of its distribution centers rather than leasing them, as highlighted on December 3, 2024. This approach provides greater control over operations and protects against rising rent costs.
The company is also implementing significant productivity and efficiency initiatives within its supply chain, including automating select tasks. These efforts are designed to streamline processes, reduce labor costs, and accelerate merchandise processing times.
Management noted that these supply chain improvements are already yielding faster-than-expected cost savings, contributing meaningfully to margin expansion. This strategic focus on operational excellence is a key component of the 'Burlington 2.0' initiative.
