Burlington Coat Factory in Porter Square

 I have heard the space is up for sale and Burlington Coat will be gone by the summer.  Has anyone heard about what might be going in in it's place?
Thanks!

Does Filene's still exist? I thought they got bought out.

Filene's was bought out, but Filene's Basement is a separate company. They had split off from Filene's many years ago.

Hm, I didn't realize that, but I did mean Filene's Basement -- I thought they were bought recently too. But maybe I just thought that because I was confused when I read the news about Filene's. Huh.

Filene's Basement is now owned by Retail Ventures of Columbus, Ohio, which also operates the Schottenstein's and Value City chains. This happened way back in 2000, after Filene's Basement filed for bankruptcy.
