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 fourth branch of Phoenix's Goldwaters chain was also the fourth anchor to open at METROCENTER. The store, which stood on the northeast corner of the complex, was dedicated on the same day as the mall's Broadway branch.

In  this very '70s interior view, we see the Goldwaters mall entrance. The store, which encompassed 106,000 square feet, included a Goldwaters Beauty Salon.
