In late 2006, Apple House Cafeteria announced its closing, and in early 2007, JCPenney announced that it was leaving the mall for Alamance Crossing. In March of 2007, 2 long-term tenants, [[FYE]] and [[Kay-Bee Toys]] both closed with little or no warning. JCPenney and Belk both closed their locations at the mall by September 2007. |

It remains to be seen how Burlington Square will be able to weather the changes ahead, even with the changing retail landscape. Much of it has to do with continual growth in the area, thanks to its close proximity to the [[Piedmont Triad|Triad]] and [[Research Triangle|Triangle]] regions of North Carolina.
