Burlington Coat Factory Warehouse Corporation announced that net sales from continuing operations for the third quarter ended March 1, 2008 were $987.1 million compared with $987.3 million for the comparative period ended March 3, 2007.

These results reflect a 6.0% comparative store sales decrease for the quarter. The decrease in comparative store sales during the quarter was due to weaker consumer demand.
