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!

More vintage MALL artwork. Note the "Shop 'til 9 pm" reference. With most retail still situated downtown -and these stores closing at around 6 pm- it was still a new concept to be able to shop out in the suburbs till 9 in the evening.
