FOX RIVER MALL, in nearby Outagamie County. This regional-class complex arrived on the Fox Cities scene in July 1984. It would be expanded exponentially over the years, provided more competition than the tiny VALLEY FAIR CENTER could withstand.

By 2006, a vacant and decaying VALLEY FAIR CENTER was awaiting its destiny date with a wrecking ball. The 1950s portion of the mall, seen here, was razed in August 2007. The long-vacant Krambo-Kroger had been demoloshed in the mid-1990s.

The Marcus Theatres multiplex, a late 1970s addition, was spared when the bulk of the mall was bulldozed in the late aughts. The cinema was renovated with a new entrance and exterior paint job. It was shuttered in September 2015.
