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. This site includes historical sections about regional department stores, discount stores, 5 & 10 stores and supermarkets. 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!

A major renovation and expansion was done at SOUTHCENTER between May 2006 and July 2008. In a circa-2010 plan, we see that the southern section of the mall has been razed and replaced by a 3-level addition (in medium gray). The first floor of a vacant Mervyn's has also been retenanted by Seafood City, a Filipino specialty grocer.
