Shopping Mall Hoodies

Tribute to our extinct mall

October 26,1966 Salem Mall in Trotwood, Ohio was Dayton's first and only all enclosed shopping center. This $10 million dollar development opened with 52 stores in operation and a Theater and the Hot Shoppes restaurant following a few weeks later. Tropical was definitely the theme in the four arcades located in the central court. This pioneer was ultimately demolished in 2006 with only the Sears building left to remain standing.

The Middletown Mall logo, designed by Carol Grimes in the 1970s for the first indoor shopping mall in West Virginia, built in Fairmont, WV, features bold, angular lettering in vibrant red. A throwback design to a classic mall that has recently been reborn. Perfect for any fan of vintage logos or any retail enthusiast.

There may be an end of an era at Paramatown mall but you can keep that era alive with this tremendous shirt. Parmatown mall originally opened as a shopping plaza in 1956. It was enclosed by the mid-1960s. The original anchors were Higbee's and May Company. In 1967 General Cinema opened the Parmatown Theater with two screens, which was unheard of at the time. A third screen opened in the 1970s, along with two more in the 1980s. General Cinema closed the theater in 2001. Higbee's (which became Dillard's in 1992) closed in 2000. The mall was renovated in the early 2000s, which included the demolition of the old Higbee's structure which was then replaced with a Walmart in 2004. In 2012 Macy's (originally May Company) announced the store...

The modern mall was invented at Southdale. On October 8, 1956, Southdale, the first fully enclosed, climate controlled shopping mall was opened with two anchor stores and 72 shops and restaurants. Southdale is now the oldest shopping mall in the U.S and currently has only one anchor, Macy's and approximately 120 shops. It is presently a Simon Mall so definitely not as grand as it was in 1956, but still a sight to be hold.

Be a part of something. The Rolling Acres Mall Mallwalkers Club - Retro styled Akron Ohio defunct shopping mall. Organized in 1985 the club started with a few members but grew to a sizeable 60 members by the late 80's. Don't think for one second they were all old people either, there were employees in their 20's who would come walk before starting their shifts in the mall. Dues were 50 cents a month and were paid the last Monday of the month when they all gathered at the York Steak House. The club was so active they had their own bulletin board that hung in the Higbee court. They even formed a 35-member choir that would perform in the mall's picnic area.

Where shopping is always a pleasure. Caldor Inc., launched in 1951, was a leading retailer of upscale discount goods in the northeastern US. Caldor expanded rapidly beginning in the early 1980s to become the fifth largest discount chain in the nation by the early 1990s. The company sold nearly $2.5 billion worth of goods and employed a work force of more than 20,000 in 1994. A discount industry pioneer, Caldor predates the start of both Kmart and Wal-Mart by more than a decade. Despite its successes, Caldor suffered from financial issues in its later years and the company was liquidated in 1999.
