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!

The grand opening of Tampa's first fully-enclosed and weather-protected mall was announced by this full-page newspaper spread, dated September 27, 1967. The 10 million dollar shopping hub opened with thirty-five stores. There would eventually be thirty-eight.
