Two new retail stores will be officially opening this month at the Adams Creek Town Center shopping complex, officials announced.

Burlington officials said fresh merchandise will be arriving at the Broken Arrow location each week.
Burlington says it plans to open 110 net new stores across the U.S. with the refreshed format, after already having updated the rest of its stores earlier. The new format will offer wider, more organized aisles and bold signage for easier store navigation.
