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!
Logos and lifelines of five major Western retail chains. These were in operation between 1849 and 2006.
And now, last but not least, we present maps showing the major "Left Coast" chains...
...as well as two that operated in the 49th and 50th states.
