Burton Flagship Store Chicago??? - Snowboarding Forum

Might be taking the kids to Navy Pier in Chicago. Burton Flagship store on Michigan Ave might be a stop.

A destination stop?
Is it anything special
Worth the visit since were there???

Not sure if this is a for sure deal but just wondering if anyone has been there. Kids I think would get a kick out of it.

I've stopped by the store once last summer. It was pretty cool place from what I remember. They have a good amount products from all/most of their brands. They also have some cool early Burton items on the wall that could be a bit interesting to look at.

But at the end of the day, it's just a store. I wouldn't make a special trip to see it, but if you're in the area it's worth a peek inside. Or I suppose if you're a BIG Burton fan, then it might be worth a special trip. But I can't imagine spending more than an hour there.

Hi,

I just visited Burlington (VT) store yesterday. Of course, lots of Burton stuff available, no real big deal, IMO. 30% off on hard goods (boards, boots, bindings), 40% off on most outerwear.

Still got some stuff as the exchange rate is in our favor and the tax rate is much lower. Worth a stop with the kids if it is on your way.

Well we stopped at the Burton Chicago store. Nice people and had a good time. Nothing fancy but kids had a good time, that is all that counts.
