Joliet Gets a New Retail Gem: Burlington Moves into Old Bed, Bath & Beyond Space

JOLIET, USATue Dec 24 2024
It’s been over two years since Bed, Bath & Beyond decided to close its doors in Joliet as part of a large-scale reduction. Now, the city is seeing a silver lining in this change. The once-empty Bed, Bath & Beyond store at 2850 Plainfield Road is currently being revamped. Guess who’s moving in? Burlington! Drivers on Plainfield Road have already spotted signs announcing the arrival of the new store at Louis Joliet Pointe. It will be neighbors with the Michaels crafts store. Burlington started small, with a single store in Burlington, New Jersey. Today, they’ve blossomed into a national chain with over 1, 000 stores. Their philosophy is simple: they want to provide excellent value to their customers. Imagine walking into the old Bed, Bath & Beyond and seeing it transformed. That’s what Joliet residents can look forward to. The new Burlington store promises to bring a fresh retail experience to the city. It’s not just about new products; it’s about the ripple effect on the local economy. A new store means more jobs and potentially more shoppers visiting the area. It’s a win-win for both the business and the community.
