Burnsville Center

Burnsville Center is located in Burnsville, Minnesota. It is one of the larger enclosed malls in Minnesota with 100[1] stores on 3 floors and approximately 1,100,000 square feet (100,000 m2). The mall opened in 1977 with Sears (closed in 2017), JCPenney, Dayton's (became Marshall Fields in 2001, now Macy's since 2006), and Donaldson's (became Carson Pirie Scott in 1987, Mervyn's in 1995, Steve & Barry's in 2004, and now split between Gordman's on the first level and Dick's Sporting Goods on the second level since 2009) as anchors[2] after Hannah Rimnac sold farmland to Homart Development; however, the mall is now owned by CBL & Associates, a company which owns and operates over 32 malls throughout the United States.

In 2015, Sears Holdings spun off 235 of its properties, including the Sears at Burnsville Center, into Seritage Growth Properties.[3] Sears closed this location in September 2017 as part of a plan to close 20 stores.[4]

Transit

The mall is also used as a transportation stop in the region, with bus service linking the mall to other destinations. Regular public transit service is provided by the MVTA. A future extension of the under-construction METRO Orange Line, a bus rapid transit service to downtown Minneapolis, may also serve the facility.[5]
