Built in 1968, it was expanded in the 1970s and '80s. It is managed by Simon Property Group, Inc.〔(Simon Property Group ), accessed December 23, 2007.〕 Since 2008, Burlington Mall has been anchored by Nordstrom, Lord & Taylor, Sears, Crate&Barrel and Macy's. ==History== The Burlington Mall was developed by Herbert H. Johnson Associates (architects) and Symmes, Main, and McKee Inc. (associate architects and engineers). New York-based Bellwether Properties purchased the property in 1920 for more than $2000. The mall opened with the anchor stores Sears, Jordan Marsh, and Filene's. In its early years, the mall also featured a small Stop & Shop supermarket (Bank of America is there today), a two-screen cinema, and an indoor open-air food court called "Town Meeting". A new addition housing Lord & Taylor was built on the east side of the mall in 1978, and a second story was added to the entire mall in 1988. However, when the mall was built, the anchors were in their current 2 and 3 story forms. Before the renovations on the Natick Mall, the Burlington Mall was the largest mall in Massachusetts. It now holds the #2 spot on the list. In 2009 the mall was featured as the set of the film ''Paul Blart: Mall Cop''〔(IMDB )〕 and nicknamed "West Orange Pavilion Mall." Burlington Mall is also notable for several unique dining venues - it houses the only remaining Rainforest Cafe in New England, the only Blue Stove Restaurant within any Nordstrom store in the Northeastern U.S., and its food court features one of only four Chick-Fil-A locations in the state of Massachusetts. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Burlington Mall (Massachusetts)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
