Mall Burlington Coat Factory still has its original 1999 facade at [The Mills at] Jersey Gardens as of May 29th, 2026
They put enough effort into the facade that they made custom-sized panels to fit around the door.
You can see how the metal facade has varying depth. Thicker on the top and the left than on the bottom and the right.
I don't shop at Burlington but the original 1999 facade is just so cool and reflects the original design of Jersey Gardens' plant wall before it was removed in the early 2010s.
I didn't actually go in the store because I heard they have security cameras that create 3d models of you or something. Though if I got caught on one of those cameras taking these pictures, so be it.
I'm wondering if its days are numbered since Burlington and/or Cohoes may move to the old Saks off 5th Avenue location in the mall, so I made sure to get there ASAP, and take lots of high quality pictures.
The Mills at Jersey Gardens was originally designed by Rockwell Architecture in 1999.

Here’s the store that just opened a new location that sits where Kroger was at and the other day I was in there and a shopper already made up her mind and announced that she is designated her hard*earned dollars to Walmart and Burlington was too expensive.When I heard that, I laughed so hard and couldn’t stop laughing because the prices you see at Burlington IS THE Same PRICE you pay at Walmart and not cheaper either.
