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!
The nation's first 6-screen multiplex was installed in Omaha's WESTROADS MALL in 1969.
Two films were shown at the grand opening of the Six West. "Candy," starring Marlon Brando, James Coburn, Richard Burton and Charles Aznavour, was presented in Auditoriums 1 through 4. "Shalako," with Sean Connery and Brigitte Bardot, was presented in Auditoriums 5 and 6.
