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!

In a circa-2009 layout, we see several changes. The White House has been surgically extracted from the mall and a new Target Greatland built. The Popular store has also been knocked down and replaced by Costco. Renovations done to the mall proper between 2004 and 2007 are shown in medium gray.

A portion of the Premier theater was rebuilt as an IMAX auditorium. It opened for business in November 2013.
