The mall underwent a massive expansion between 1989 and 1993. Robinson's, rebranded by Louisiana's Maison Blanche in 1988, was replaced with a new store. It became a Gayfer's in 1992. J.C. Penney has also opened at FASHION SQUARE. The old Robinson's / Maison Blanche (in dark gray) was refitted with inline stores. With these changes, the mall encompasses around 1,042,000 leasable square feet and houses 120 stores.
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!
