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 East Bay's SunValley Center


San Francisco-Oakland's first mega mall, soon after its "Summer of Love" dedication. The center had three anchors and 2 levels of retail. The freestanding Convenience Center on the left originally housed a Portland-based Baza'r discount mart and Baza'r Foods.
