Burton closing downtown Burlington flagship store

BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) - Burlington-based Burton is closing its flagship store downtown.

The College Street store is right across from City Hall Park.

They are currently in the midst of a 40% off closing sale. A sign also says the space is for rent.

In a statement to WCAX News, a spokesperson for Burton said: “We opened the College Street store as a six month prototype store never intending to stay as long as we did. Although the College Street store was successful in many ways, we’ve decided that it’s best for us to concentrate our focus on our Burlington HQ store where we can provide the best customer experience through expanded product offerings and service.”

Founder Jake Burton started making snowboards in Londonderry in the late 1970s. In 1992, they moved their factory and headquarters to Burlington.
