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!

North Carolina's Roses chain co-anchored the original CROSSROADS complex. The 1-level store encompassed 33,100 square feet.

In mid-1984, the store was rebannered as a (quote-unquote) "P.H. Rose," obviously a homage to the chain's founder, Paul Howard Rose.

The P.H. Rose nameplate was short-lived. By December 1984, the store was operating as an Eagles Variety Store. This was out of business by 1987.
