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!
Honolulu's Pearlridge Center
The "string of pearls" trademark made its debut along with the initial section of PEARLRIDGE CENTER. With only minimal variations, this graphic has beckoned shoppers for over 50 years.
A Liberty House department store became the first tenant to open at the mall site, in October 1971. It was the fifth location in the Honolulu-based chain.
