Our History

Since Holly Burkett-Pohland purchased Burkett’s from her Mother in 1996, Burkett’s has evolved & changed so much, but the goal to make every customer happy remains the same.

Today when you shop at Burkett’s, you discover modern and versatile women's + men's clothing and accessories. You’ll experience warm, welcoming and wholehearted service—and dressing rooms that only inspire joy. We’ve added Burkett’s Home + Gift next door, offering a HUGE selection of home decor, kitchen, baby & kids, and gifts!

Holly & her amazing team of stylists are grateful for every customer and are honored to empower the amazing women in this community to be their best version of themselves.
