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!

Kmart introduced a couple of new store formats in the 1990s. In this snapshot, we see a Kmart "Super Center." The first store debuted -in Medina, Ohio- in 1991. Super Centers included a full-line grocery store.

The first "Big Kmart" debuted -in Chicago- in 1997. Big Kmarts did not include a supermarket. They were not successful and stores were gradually phased out. Several locations were returned to the standard Kmart format.

Kmart introduced a new logo in 2002. It was installed -as a nameplate- on a small number of stores.
