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!

Greater Boston's SHOPPERS' WORLD opened -in October 1951- with a Brockelman Brother's Market. This store was rebranded as a Stop & Shop in September 1953. A new Stop & Shop (depicted on the previous page) was added to the north end of the mall.

Greater Detroit's innovative NORTHLAND CENTER housed a mall-connected Kroger supermarket. The first NORTHLAND stores, including Kroger, were officially dedicated in March 1954.
