Burlington Mall has announced a new lineup of restaurants, retailers, and entertainment options, including several concepts making their first appearance in Massachusetts. The additions are part of a series of openings planned throughout 2026 as the mall continues to expand its mix of dining, shopping, and entertainment offerings.

Among the highlights is Rocco’s Tacos & Tequila Bar, which is expected to open this summer and will mark the brand’s first location in Massachusetts. Known for its bold Mexican flavors, fresh-made guacamole, and extensive tequila selection, Rocco’s brings a high-energy, celebration-style dining experience, with a lively atmosphere designed around music, shared plates, and a social, nightlife feel.

Several additional dining options are also planned or recently opened. Wonder, which recently held its grand opening at The Village, offers a multi-restaurant ordering concept with menus from a range of chefs. A new to-go concept, Waffle & Bagel, is expected to open by early summer. Soup Zen Hot Pot is also planned, bringing an Asian hot pot dining experience with a projected opening later this year.

On the retail side, several brands are preparing to open or expand at the mall. Mavi will open its first Massachusetts location this summer, while gorjana and Vuori are also expected to join the mall’s lineup. Champs Sports will relocate to a larger space on the upper level, with a reopening planned for May. In addition, Bissinger’s Handcrafted Chocolatesis expected to open its first Massachusetts location later this year.

The mall is also expanding its entertainment offerings. Game Show Battle Rooms is expected to open this summer, featuring live-hosted, game show-style experiences. (You can link your previous Game Show Battle Rooms story here.)

Another addition, Craft Loft, will offer hands-on workshops for adults looking for a creative night out. The studio plans to host guided sessions in activities like candle making, rug tufting, and other DIY crafts, giving visitors a chance to create personalized items in a social, group setting. Craft Loft is expected to open in May.

Mall officials say the latest additions are part of an effort to continue evolving the property with a mix of shopping, dining, and experiential offerings.

“We are especially proud to introduce a strong mix of first-to-Massachusetts and highly sought-after concepts that continue to elevate our Burlington Mall guest experience,” said Lauren Dalis, Director of Marketing and Business Development. “This next wave of openings reflects our commitment to creating a destination where shopping, dining and entertainment come together in a meaningful and exciting way.”
