While the rumors have been running rampant, I have not heard a true confirmation that we will be getting a Burlington Coat Factory here in Lake Charles. I can give you two reasons off the top of my head why we need one here and those two reasons are because  I shop there.

My Wife and I frequently go to Beaumont or either Laffayette to do our shopping at Burlington. As a matter of fact, between the two of us, we have spent well over a few hundred dollars. While my wife is more of a house shopping type individual. I am strictly shopping for clothes and always leave with a bag full of gear for the winter or summer.

 

The talk on the street is that we are suppose to be getting one in the old Academy location on Derrick Drive. I have done a little research online and I haven't seen any truth to it yet. However with the fact that Academy has moved down to a new location and that leaves a vacant building. It seems like the perfect opportunity and location to make that happen. Anyway if I have any sayso whatsoever. I would love to put my hands up and beg to the corporate folks up high to please present us with a Burlington Coat Factory in the Lake area.

I am sure they are keeping records of their customers and where many of them are from. And I am sure on those computer logs, you are seeing alot of people coming in from Lake Charles and surrounding areas. Anyway I am keeping my fingers crossed and looking for the next chance to get my voice heard for a Burlingtons in Lake Charles.
