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!

If the mall wasn't already big enough, it surely was when a 1.1 billion dollar expansion was completed. A long-delayed remodeling got underway in 2016. By 2020, a 2,200,000 square foot buying behemoth featured a fourth anchor; Bloomingdale's. There were also a third major shopping concourse, two high-tech "digital garages" and a movie theater (the first in the mall's 60-year history). In 2022, for-pay parking -for 8,500 autos- was established.


The new VALLEY FAIR Bloomingdale's was dedicated, along with the mall expansion, in March 2020.
