In 2017, the mall housed 939,400 leasable square feet and over 170 stores. Penney's is the only anchor still sporting its original (albeit updated) nameplate. May Company and its Home Store were rebranded as Robinsons-May operations in early 1993 and "Macy-ated" in 2006. The Broadway became Sears in 1996 and Mervyn's re-opened as a Kohl's in late 2009.
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!
