Former Anchors

The Burlington Mall has seen several anchor store come and go. Sears, originally Simpsons-Sears, used to occupy the current The Bay location. When the Hudson's Bay Company decided to convert all of their Simpson's stores to Bay stores, the local result would have been two Bay stores in the nearby Mapleview mall, so Sears moved from Burlington mall to one of the Bay locations at Mapleview mall, and The Bay took over this old Sears location. Robinson's was bought out by, and renamed Zellers in the early 1990s. The old Dominion Grocery Store was converted into the old location of the food court and a 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 and before that a split Kmart/A&P. Up until the late 1990s there was a small three-screen Famous Players movie theatre which has since become a Sport Chek.
