VALLEY FAIR CENTER evolved from a fifty-five-store, open-air mall. Anchored by Macy's California, the original complex housed stores such as Joseph Magnin, Grodins, Thom McAn Shoes, See's Candies, a Dollar Saver supermarket and F.W. Woolworth 5 & 10.

 

 

The western section of the mall site, which was located in the City of Santa Clara, was developed between 1956 and 1964. STEVENS CREEK PLAZA was added to an Emporium store that had opened in 1957. This open-air mini mall was completed in 1964.
