Welcome to the largest mall and retail history site on the internet!


By 1974, the White Front store, and chain, were history. The anchor space at MALL 205 sat vacant until 1977-'78, when it was carved into the so-called "PayLess Complex." This new wing housed twenty-one stores and services. These included PayLess Drug, Troutman's Emporium (a.k.a. The Emporium) and a 4-plex cinema.
