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 two images above and below are 21st century interior views. The decor reflects changes made as part of a 1996 indoor face lift.

CENTURY III MALL was in a downward spiral for a number of years. In mid-2018, there were just eleven stores in operation in a complex with space for over 200. Stalwarts J.C. Penney and Dick's Sporting Goods were the only stores anchoring the mall. Dick's pulled up stakes in early 2019.

The C III mall's final trademark was an updated version of its 1979 logo. This old & improved symbol was in use in early 2019, when the mall's last group of inline stores closed for good. The final operational tenant, J.C. Penney, shut down in late 2020.
