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!
By the mid-1970s, the eastern strip complex was being promoted as the OXNARD TWIN SHOPPING CENTER. The west facility was known as TWIN CENTERS MALL. A renovation of the latter got underway in March 1979. In this photo, and the one that follows, we see the mall in the throes of heavy construction.

The remodeling enclosed the open-air shopping concourse between the east and west store blocks and added terrazzo flooring.
