From the 1990s and into the new millennium, people would often make trips to various different types of stores and malls in their spare time, oftentimes with a group of friends. There were several iconic mall and stand alone stores that people would often visit back then, whether they wanted to buy some new clothing, grab a bite in the mall food court, buy a new CD album, or pretty much anything else you can imagine. I've dedicated this entire page primarily to clothing and accessory stores which existed in the 2000s, at least ones that operate/operated here in the US.
Here are some stores that were pretty popular in the 2000s (some of which are defunct as of December 2024): ![]()
Tips:
Try looking for secondhand items from the decade on eBay or at your local thrift store. Interesting reads on this topic: Bath and Body Works (Heartland Era) Bath and Body Works (Temptations Era) The Demise of Limited Too Vampire Robot on YouTube |
So come along with me and let's go hang out at the the mall together. Maybe we'll go window shopping at Hot Topic, buy a new CD from FYE, or grab a lemonade and a pizza at Sbarro.
