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 GROSSMONT CENTER of 2008. Areas renovated -or entirely rebuilt- during a 1997-'98 remodeling are shown in light gray. The shopping hub now encompassed approximately 939,000 leasable square feet and housed eighty-eight stores and services.
