Can you complete the names of these extinct mall stores?
Did your memory keep the receipts of these bygone businesses?
Shopping malls were once the epicenter of American life. Where else could you buy jeans, play Pac-Man, stock up on summer sausage, eat hot pretzels and meet Santa — all in one go? We can't imagine being a teenager again without hanging out at the mall.
Alas, malls are an endangered species now. Many of our favorite shops have gone the way of the dodo. We're taking a trip back through a mall of the past (circa the 1980s and early-'90s).
