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. 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!

A 5-bay culinary complex, dubbed Cafe' Woodmar, was built in a small circa-1981 mall addition. The food court featured Schoop's Hamburgers, Pizza Pizzazz, Zante's Deli and Franks & Fries. Vendors opened in December 1986.
