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. This site includes historical sections about regional department stores, discount stores, 5 & 10 stores and supermarkets. 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!
Miami's Omni International Mall
The shiny new Jordan Marsh Florida; the first store in a newly-created division of Allied Stores. Dedicated in early 1956, the original 3-level structure was too small to accommodate all of the business it was attracting. A 2-floor addition was completed in late 1958. This "Jordan's" would eventually anchor the south end of OMNI INTERNATIONAL MALL.
