Burlington ribbon cutting on Friday in Waynesboro’s Town Center

The sign has been up for some time, and the day is almost here for Burlington to open its new location in the Town Center in Waynesboro on Friday. The new Burlington will take the place of the former Bed, Bath and Beyond location in the shopping center.

The ribbon cutting will take place on Friday at 7:45 a.m. To highlight Burlington’s commitment to giving back to the community, the retailer will be donating $5,000 to Wenonah Elementary School through AdoptAClassroom.org. Funds will be used to help teachers purchase materials for their classrooms.

Burlington Stores, Inc. offers up to 60 percent off retail prices for brand name merchandise, according to a news release.

“Our goal is to continue to offer communities great values on brand name merchandise for the entire family and home,” said Michael O’Sullivan, CEO, Burlington Stores. “We’re continuing to expand our footprint across the country and are excited to be opening a store in Waynesboro. We look forward to giving local customers the chance to discover fantastic prices on a wide range of products.”

The 821D Town Center Drive location will be open Sunday-Thursday from 9:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m.
