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!

In this drawing, we depict the ever-changing anchor store line-up in the north section of the PLAZA mall. Some stores had sported four different nameplates over the years.


Case in point, the PLAZA Sears. It was closed down in two stages. Dick's Sporting Goods set up shop in the upper level in November 2014. A downsized Sears in the lower level closed for good in January 2015. Irish fashion retailer Primark assumed 80,700 square feet of the lower level and opened for business in November 2015.
