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. 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 vista view of the MAINE MALL Food Court. The culinary complex features nine fast food restaurants and includes Johnny Rockets, Panda Express, Arby's and Charley's Philly Steaks.

Our final MM site plan is dated 2022. The Bon Ton opened in the fall of 2013 and closed in the summer of 2017. It was replaced by Jordan's Furniture. Sports Authority went bust in 2016. A Round 1 Bowling & Amusement Center went into that store's vacant space in 2018. In the meantime, H & M relocated into an old The Gap space. 


Sears went dark in September 2020. If the proposed Maine Mall Transit-Oriented Development plan sees fruition, the abandoned Sears may be torn down. The mall would become a regional bus-transit hub surrounded by a Transportation Center, hotel, convention center, year-round open-air market, residential buildings, parking garages and several swaths of green space.
