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!

The 2005-2006 renovation replaced the Garden Grove Food Court, at the main mall entrance. A larger culinary complex was installed in the mall's northwest corner, replacing a 6-screen cinema and three adjoining stores. After the new food court was completed, the old Garden Grove was gutted and reconfigured as a six-store Specialty Wing.

The mall's second Food Court features twelve vendors. These include Charleys Philly Steaks, Sbarro the Italian Eatery and Panda Express.
