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!

This store opened -in September 1962- as The Crescent. It was rebranded, by Seattle-based Frederick & Nelson, in August 1988. That chain folded in 1992. The Bon Marche acquired the building and opened a branch in July 1993. It morphed into a Bon-Macy's in 2003 and became a bona fide Macy's in March 2005.

Sears originally opened at NORTHTOWN in June 1961. The store moved into this newly-built structure in October 1989. It would be in operation for 30 years.
