A large crowd attended the grand opening and ribbon cutting on February 17 at the new Burkes Outlet in Alexander County. The store is located at 773 NC Hwy. 16 South in Taylorsville in the building formerly occupied by Goody’s in the Walmart Shopping Center.
At Burkes Outlet, customers can find brand name apparel and accessories for the entire family at up to 70 percent off other stores prices every day. In addition, most stores carry shoes, home furnishings, gifts, and toys. Their stores are designed to serve customers of all ages and income levels, and they take pride in offering great assortments at great prices every day.
