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 aforementioned King Soopers grocery relocated from a Sheridan Boulevard location, into this newly-built BEAR VALLEY CENTER structure, in 1994. The store was expanded by 25,000 square feet in 2012.

Perhaps the only surviving piece of BEAR VALLEY MALL, these fiberglass statues were created for the new enclosed structure in 1966. They now stand on a parking area island.
