Courtland Center, Burton, MI

Tucker Development is the owner and management company for Courtland Center Mall in Burton, Michigan. This mall was opened in 1968 on 4190 east Court St. It has 60 stores with 5 anchor spaces. Only four of the anchors are filled at this time. Total floor space is 460,000 square feet. There is only one floor. Courtland Center was opened until Genesse Valley Center, which is a larger mall. It has affected the profits of Courtland to a degree, yet some individuals still shop at Courtland based on its location. The anchor stores are JC Penney, Dunham's Sports, Staples and Jo-Ann Fabrics. This mall has a movie theater.

When the mall was first opened it was called Eastland Mall. During this time there was space for three anchors including Woolco, A&P, and Kroger. The supermarkets left in 1970, allowing Jo-Ann's and JC Penney to take over the spaces. Later in 1982 the movie theater became the property of National Amusements, who split the one screen auditorium into two small screens. Crowley's moved into the mall as did the Fair. The Fair was taken over by Mervyns. Eventually in the late 1980's the mall was renovated, and obtained the current Courtland name. A great deal of renovation occurred in 2000's, allowing new stores to replace some of the older spaces like Mervyns when it left in 2006. Unfortunately the mall has suffered some hard times over the years. The movie theater closed in the 90's only to be opened in 1999 again, but closed in 2009 along with B. Dalton.

Today visitors to the mall can experience 810 Casual, Babbage's, Bath and Body Works, Best Beauty, BoRic's Hair, Calendar Club, Claire's, Cotton Plus, Courtland Alterations and Menswear, Dakota Watch, DEB, Dollar Tree, Dons Sip and Dip, Duke's Communication, and Famous Footwear.
