Welcome to the largest mall and retail history site on the internet. The MALL HALL OF FAME is a vintage shopping mall scrapbook. Its focus is on shopping complexes built -in the USA- between 1946 and 1979. This site includes historical sections about regional department stores, discount stores, 5 & 10 stores and supermarkets. Don't forget to visit our four Shopping Mall Memory Lanes, which transport you through time to a mall in 1956, 1963, 1970 and 1977!
A snapshot of the mall entrance of the original J.C. Penney. It opened -in a vacated W.T. Grant space- in 1980. The store moved to the south end of the complex -into the old Zayre- in September 2007.

An aerial view of GREEN MOUNTAIN MALL. The complex, which achieved its 40th year in business in late 2014, has never been physically expanded. However, a dizzying array of stores have come and gone since 1974.
