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!
In the following three images, we have a visual chronology of the southwest anchor at LOS CERRITOS CENTER. Above, the building is shown in its original (1972-1986) Ohrbachs phase.
Here, we see the building in its (1987-2009) Mervyn's stint. Photo from "TokyoMagic!"
Lastly, we have the current (2010-to-present) Forever 21 incarnation. Photo from "TokyoMagic!"
