Thrill of the Deal: For 87%, Getting a Great Deal Is More Satisfying Than Owning a Luxury Item
Burlington Stores released a consumer survey ahead of the 2026 holiday season showing resilient spending attitudes, with 80% of respondents expecting to spend the same or more than last year despite budget concerns.
The survey of 2,000 U.S. adults, conducted by Wakefield Research, found 87% say getting a great deal is more satisfying than owning a luxury item, and 58% are excited by the hunt for deals on a smaller holiday budget.
The release is a brand-marketing piece positioning Burlington's off-price model as a beneficiary of value-seeking behavior; it contains no new financial results or guidance beyond restating Fiscal 2025 net sales of $11.5 billion and 1,287 stores.
