What is Replacing the Old Burlington Store in South Portland, Maine

There was a point in time when Burlington had two stores in South Portland, Maine.

That was thanks to a move from their old location at the Jetport Plaza to the new current location near Target at the Maine Crossing Plaza.

When that length move was finally complete, Burlington left behind a massive 44,000 square foot space near Staples.

Now that space is set to be filled and its new tenant will add to what has become a crowded furniture market in South Portland, Maine.
