The first full-line shopping mall Sears:

Denver, Colorado's Cherry Creek Center



Colorado's first shopping mall opened between 1953 and 1955. A
133,400 square foot Sears -across the avenue and connected via
pedestrian tunnel- was completed in 1954. In 2004, the store was
renovated and worked into a new, high-end mixed-use complex,
known as CLAYTON LANE (seen above).
