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!

Like many a mid-century shopping mall, ORLANDO FASHION SQUARE was an addition to a freestanding department store; in this case, a Sears & Roebuck. The store seen here was in operation for 10 years before it became part of a fully-enclosed shopping hub.

Sears anchored the west end of ORLANDO FASHION SQUARE for 53 years. The store was shuttered in 2016.
