Off-price chains pick up merchandise hung up in the supply chain

This has create buying opportunities for Burlington Stores, Ross Stores and other off-price retailers. “We see more potential opportunities in front of us from closeouts,” said Ross Stores CEO Barbara Rentler. “There’s a lot of that merchandise that vendors are still moving [that] is not necessarily even in the country.”
