Recall How Malls Transformed the Shopping Experience

Starting at $5.99 – $24.99

Let RetroSparX spark your memory of the first shopping malls with Modern Malls: A Multi-Sensory Experience. You might remember the first time you entered a shopping mall – an enclosed temple to consumerism with a dizzying array of retail possibilities. Read about the development of the shopping mall concept and how it has evolved over time as consumer tastes and habits have shifted with changing trends and the proliferation of on-line shopping. From the modest structures of the 1950s, to the mega malls/entertainment complexes of today, retailers are on a never-ending mission to find ways to entice you to open your wallet!

As an added bonus, in Show Me the Money discover some of the more significant inventions and retail innovations that have changed the landscape of shopping.
