Is Burlington Open on New Year’s Day 2027? Holiday Hours

Burlington stores are generally reported as open on New Year’s Day, so Friday, January 1, 2027 is a reasonable day to plan a shopping trip. What is not settled is the clock. The sources reviewed for this article contain no official Burlington announcement of 2027 holiday hours, and third-party estimates do not agree with each other.

This article covers Burlington Stores, the U.S. off-price retailer many shoppers still call Burlington Coat Factory, not a city, a mall, or any other business with Burlington in its name. Below you will find the reported hours, why no single number should be trusted, and a one-minute way to confirm your own store.

What Are Burlington’s New Year’s Day Hours?

No single opening or closing time has been confirmed for every store. The published estimates fall into three groups, and none of them comes from Burlington itself:

A few points make these numbers easier to read:

• The 2026 figures are last year’s holiday. They show a pattern, not a 2027 schedule.
• The 2027 figure is unconfirmed. Burlington’s official website does not back it up in the sources reviewed.
• The 2026 roundups themselves warn that stores differ. Even the reports that give a time tell shoppers to check locally.

If your trip is time-sensitive, plan around the overlap. All three reports agree on the stretch between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m., so arriving inside that window covers every version. Treat it as a planning shortcut, not a confirmed schedule.

Why Burlington Hours Differ From Store to Store

Burlington’s investor relations site reports 1,287 stores at the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2026, spread across 47 states, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico. A network that size does not run on one clock.

The official locator makes that visible. Current store listings show closing times of 10 p.m., 11 p.m., and midnight, and some stores close on the half hour. Even within one store, the weekly schedule is not uniform: at least one listing shows a later Sunday opening and midnight closings on Friday and Saturday only.

These are regular hours, not January 1 hours. They matter because the same holiday can play out differently at a store that normally closes at 10 p.m. and one that normally closes at midnight, which is why a generic holiday table is a weaker guide than your own store’s page.

How to Check Your Burlington’s New Year’s Day Hours

Use the store locator

1. Open Burlington’s official store locator.
2. Enter a ZIP code, city, or state.
3. Pick your store from the results. Each entry shows how late that location is open today, along with an address and phone number.
4. Open the store’s detail page and read its weekly hours.
5. Look for any special hours listed for January 1. If the page shows only the regular weekly schedule, the holiday schedule may not be posted yet.
6. If anything is unclear, call the number shown on the store page.

Check again before January 1

Burlington has not said when holiday schedules are added to store pages, so a listing that looks ordinary weeks ahead does not settle anything. Look again in the days before December 31, and once more on the morning of January 1 if your plans depend on it.

Is Burlington Open on New Year’s Eve or January 2?

Neither date is covered by a confirmed Burlington schedule in the sources reviewed, and neither is New Year’s Day, so a January 1 listing tells you nothing about them. Check each date separately.

What Burlington Sells

Burlington describes its merchandise as women’s, men’s, and youth apparel, baby items, beauty, footwear, accessories, home goods, toys, gifts, and coats. Some store pages also flag services such as layaway and Amazon pickup, which are available only at certain locations, so check the page if you are going for something specific.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Burlington open on January 1, 2027?

Recent holiday-hours reporting lists Burlington as open on New Year’s Day, and January 1, 2027 falls on a Friday. The schedule that counts is the one on your store’s locator page.

What time does Burlington open on New Year’s Day?

Reports point to 9 a.m. for New Year’s Day 2026 and 10 a.m. in the one 2027 estimate found. Burlington has not confirmed either. Arriving after 10 a.m. covers both.

What time does Burlington close on New Year’s Day?

Reported closing times run from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. Arriving well before 8 p.m. is the safest bet until your store posts its own hours.

Does Burlington have reduced hours on New Year’s Day?

Possibly. Only the 2027 third-party listing describes modified hours. A 10 p.m. or 11 p.m. close, as seen in the 2026 roundups, also matches regular closing times in Burlington’s locator listings, so those reports may not reflect any reduction. Your store’s page is the only way to know.

How do I check my local Burlington’s holiday hours?

Search your ZIP code, city, or state in the official store locator and open your store’s page. The steps above cover what to look for once you are there.
