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!

Another major WESTGATE renovation was completed in 2007. During this project, the west anchor, originally a J.B. White, was demolished and replaced with a freestanding Costco. The adjusted gross leasable area of the mall proper now stood at around 1,100,600 square feet.


As part of Sears' ongoing retail retreat, the south anchor at WESTGATE was vacated in September 2018. Sears had been the mall's first operational store, in 1975.
