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!
The mall was able to shed its Westfield trappings in 2007, when it was sold and renamed SOUTH COUNTY CENTER. Above, we see the Southeast Entrance, which lies between Dillard's and J.C. Penney. Photo from Wikipedia / Mike Kalasnik
That once-iconic Illinois-based retailer maintained a presence at SOUTH COUNTY CENTER for nearly 16 years. Their 3-level store went dark in September 2018. Graphic from www.sears.com
