Phoenix's Maryvale Shopping City

Phoenix's third mall-type shopping complex opened 2 years after its first (PARK CENTRAL SHOPPING CITY). The MARYVALE mall was built in three phases. The first phase structure is depicted above, which housed the Bowlero Lanes bowling alley, an S.S. Kresge 5 & dime and El Rancho Market.

The second and third phase mall is shown here, which dates this image to around 1965. By this time, a Montgomery Ward department store is anchoring the complex. There is also a second supermarket (Fry's) and the nation's largest Walgreen Drug.
