Disney Store in Burlington Mall to Close Mid-September

Anyone looking to get some Disney merchandise locally should hurry to the Burlington Mall.

Disney announced that they are set to close 60 of their brick and mortar stores across the country on or before September 15. This includes their Burlington location.

Disney officials said they plan to focus more on e-commerce.

“Over the past few years, we’ve been focused on meeting consumers where they are already spending their time, such as the expansion of Disney store shop-in-shops around the world,” Stephanie Young, president of consumer products, games and publishing, said in a statement to USA Today in March. “We now plan to create a more flexible, interconnected e-commerce experience that gives consumers easy access to unique, high-quality products across all our franchises.”

Disney has also worked out a deal with Target to have the big-box store carry more of their items.

The Disney Store is selling items at a discount before closing. All sales are final.
