Monroe Milstein, who co-founded Burlington Coat Factory with his wife, passed away at the age of 98, as reported on May 13, 2025. Milstein was instrumental in establishing the company's foundation.
He began the business by purchasing a former Jonathan Logan factory in New Jersey in 1972, which became the site of their first store. This marked the beginning of what would evolve into Burlington Stores, Inc.
Milstein's vision helped shape the company into a nationally recognized off-price retailer. His legacy is tied to the origins and early growth of the Burlington brand.
