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!

A major renovation was performed at VOLUSIA MALL between March and October 2014. During the 5 million dollar project, the Food Court entrance, seen here, was rebuilt. Among other things, restrooms were remodeled and new lighting, flooring, ceilings and soft seating areas installed.

Several changes are evident in a circa-2016 layout. Books-A-Million and Applebee's joined the mall between 2009 and 2010. An outparcel "Restaurant District" was built, which included Bahama Breeze Island Grill (2013), Olive Garden (2013), I.H.O.P. (2014) and Cheddar's Scratch Kitchen (2015). Lastly, Sweden's renowned fashion retailer, H & M, took out five inline store spaces and opened in December 2015.
