The CENTRE was on the skids by the mid-1980s. Owners came and went, each with grandiose remodeling plans that were never carried out. The complex was demalled in 1991-'92. Its West Wing was demolished, with the remaining structure reconfigured as retail and office space. A Pace Warehouse, in the southwest parking area, was rebranded as a Sam's Club in 1994. Outparcel store strips were added to the north parking area between 2000 and 2008.
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!
