Welcome to the largest mall and retail history site on the internet!


Intense competition, inept management and anchor store defections caused the decline and fall of ANAHEIM PLAZA. By the late 1980s, the shopping center was in dire straits. It was given a wrecking ball renovation in 1993. A first phase power plaza was dedicated in November 1994.

In a circa-2010 site plan, four buildings held over from the original ANAHEIM PLAZA mall are outlined in blue. In addition to the stores shown here, the value-oriented venue included Old Navy, Ulta Beauty, Fashion Q, Rubio's Fresh Mexican Grill and Five Below. Free parking was provided for 2,200 autos.
