A site plan from 1977 shows the recently-added Brandeis branch. The mall's first anchor nameplate change rebranded the center department store under a Younker-Kilpatricks banner. The mall's Fox theater has also been split into and renamed the Fox Twin. With these -and other- modifications, the mall enclosed 157 stores and services.
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!
