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 Chicago-based Carson Pirie Scott ("Carson's") chain occupied the largest LAKEHURST MALL store, which encompassed 3 floors and 226,000 square feet. In its early days, it housed a third level Budget Store and Heather Room restaurant.
