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!

By the late 2010s, MONMOUTH MALL was struggling to maintain tenants. Its owners envisaged a massive redevelopment. MONMOUTH TOWN CENTER, a mixed-use retail, restaurant, entertainment and residential complex, was proposed. The 500 million dollar project was announced in February 2016, but was abandoned in April of the same year.

Before the MONMOUTH TOWN CENTER plan was scuttled, a site plan was created. Retail structures, both old and new, are shown in shades of blue. Residential units are indicated in dark brown. Most of the existing mall would have been retained, but the Food Court area and circa-1976 J.C. Penney would have been demolished.
