Burlington - No Longer Just a Coat Factory!

Welcome to the Burlington Project!

Burlington is what is called an off-price wholesale store, which means their products are closeout inventory usually coming from other retail and wholesale stores. Stores carry a large assortment of current designer and name-brand merchandise at deep discounts from retail/wholesale prices.

The retailer has a large collection of Women's and Juniors Apparel as well as a robust Home department and of course, Outerwear! 

For this project, we will be looking specifically at the following departments: 

• Women's Apparel (also called "Missy" at some locations) 
• Juniors Apparel (Girl/Teens, not Kids)
• Outerwear (Women's, Men's, Kids)
• Home (Soft Lines)

Store Metrics

For each department, you will collect a variety of details. The data you collect will vary by department, so please be sure to review the necessary data for each department.

The following are the general store metrics you need to be familiar with.  For more details about each of the following items, click on the link for detailed explanations.

1. Effective Pricing: ​What is the min, max, and mode price for each inventory category? 
2. Stock Levels: How well the displays are stocked. (This will only be used in the apparel categories)
3. Percent of inventory on promotion: How much of the inventory in the categories we are collecting data for is on promotion? (In apparel, this will include a % of inventory including clearance)
4. Promotions:  What inventory is on promotion and what are the details?
