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!
Omaha's Westroads Center


First came CROSSROADS, then SOUTHROADS. The third of Omaha's "Roads" malls was developed in the city's western environs. WESTROADS CENTER opened, in January 1968, as the largest retail hub in the Corn Husker State. The mall's original logo promoted the complex as America's 8th Largest Shopping Center.

The heart of WESTROADS was known as Central Park. This lushly landscaped court, underneath an "Astrodome" skylight, was 2-stories high. The mall entrance of the Kilpatrick's department store faced the area.
