In 1959, the shiny new ALA MOANA CENTER encompassed around 680,000 leasable square feet and contained ninety stores. There was free parking for over 5,000 autos. The Street (Lower) Level consisted of a truck tunnel surrounded by inline stores; these accessed from the adjacent parking garage. Stores on the Mall (Upper) Level flanked an open-air shopping concourse.
