One of my co-workers recently found out there’s a Burlington Coat Factory at 51 Gusabel Ave. in Nashua, just off of Exit 6 on the F.E. Everett Turnpike. He was excited because he’s in the market for a new winter coat and lucky for him, he couldn’t have picked a better time.

Sure, he could shop at Burlington Coat Factory but there’s a few other stores in the area with outerwear sales going on this week, which means he’s sure to find a bargain.

Old Navy is having an outerwear sale with 40 percent off all coats this week. (Old Navy is at 4 E. Spit Brook Road in Nashua.) Kohl’s is also having an outerwear sale (the store’s in the same plaza as Burlington Coat Factory) with 40-50 percent off.

Target (in the Pheasant Lane Mall) has also joined the sales bandwagon, offering mark downs on selected men’s jackets.
