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!
Village Square opened in August 1975. It filled Lower Promenade space where the Kiddie Lane Victorian Village had once stood. By the time of this photo, the name of the mini-mall had been changed to Village Mall. Photo from www.myspace.com / Bergen Mall / Jordan B.
