==Former Anchors==
==Notes==
The Burlington Mall has seen several anchor store come and go. [[Sears Canada|Sears]], originally Simpsons-Sears, used to occupy the current The Bay location. Robinson's was bought out by, and renamed, Zellers. The old [[Dominion Stores (Ontario)|Dominion Grocery Store]] was converted into the old location of the food court and a [[Dylex|BiWay]] store, and is now the new location of HomeSense. The old [[Eaton's]] store was converted into a new, much bigger food court and [[Old Navy]] downstairs and a Goodlife Fitness Club upstairs. The Canadian Tire store, which occupies a separate building on the mall property, used to be a [[Kmart]]. Up until the early 90's there was a small 3 screen [[Famous Players]] movie theatre which has since become a Sport Chek.

Burlington Centre (formerly known as Burlington Mall) is a 721,000 square feet (67,000 m2) shopping mall[1] located in Burlington, Ontario, Canada. It is one of the two enclosed malls in Burlington, Ontario, the other being the Mapleview Centre. The stores at Burlington Centre include Hudson's Bay, HomeSense, Old Navy and Winners. It has two floors, the upper floor covers the wing leading to the food court, the floor above the food court area, and the second floor of Hudson's Bay. The Hudson's Bay store gained national media attention in 2021 for its Zellers pop-up shop.[2]

The mall was developed by Cambridge Leasoholds and opened its doors in October 1968.[3] It was a 60-store complex anchored by Simpsons-Sears, Dominion, G.W Robinson and Famous Players.[3] Sears sold its store lease and fixtures to The Bay which took over the location on August 14, 1991.[4][5] In 1995, the Hudson's Bay Company bought the Robinson's chain and transferred the location at Burlington Mall to its Zellers subsidiary since there was already The Bay in the mall.[6] Zellers eventually closed on September 17, 2012, and was replaced by Target Canada which opened on March 19, 2013.[7][8] After Target closed itself in early 2015, its space was divided for a Denninger’s grocery retailer and relocated stores of Winners, Indigo and Starbucks stores.[9]

Burlington Centre is located at the intersections of Guelph Line, Fairview and Prospect Streets, south of the Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW). The mall is owned by RioCan Management Inc.,[10] and was owned until mid-2011 by Ivanhoe Cambridge.
