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!

ANTIOCH CENTER was enclosed and climate-controlled in 1978-'79. An exterior face lift was done in 1993. By this time, a Payless Cashways home improvement center had been installed in the south end of the complex. Macy's had morphed into a Dillard's in 1986 and Burlington Coat Factory in 1993.


Sears operated at ANTIOCH CENTER for over 43 years.

The mall's interior was rebuilt during the late '70s enclosure. In this image, we see the old Center Mall section and one of the entrances of the Burlington Coat Factory anchor store.

The 8-bay Antioch Eatery was installed as part of the enclosure renovation. Some of its latter-day vendors were Pizza Hut Express, Orange Julius and Chinese Gourmet Express.
