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. This site includes historical sections about regional department stores, discount stores, 5 & 10 stores and supermarkets. 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 BELMAR "retail village" is reputedly one of the most successful mall-to-lifestyle redevelopments in the nation.

In this contemporary view, we see the circular Wasabi Sushi Bar. The spire of the Century Theatres 16 Bel Mar & XD towers over the background.
