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!

By 2008, the mall is owned and operated by Australia's Westfield. In addition to the new Food Court (in light gray), the early 2000s renovation brought a new Steve & Barry's and Qdoba Mexican Grill. These stores were installed in an abandoned Montgomery Ward. With these modifications, WESTFIELD GATEWAY spanned around 1,002,000 leasable square feet and housed 107 stores and services.
