Do You Remember The Puente Hills Mall in Industry CA? Version 2.0 

I used to have to spend hours at this mall. There was a bookstore next to AMC Theaters. I would spend my time waiting for the movie to start reading at the bookstore. I miss those days.

That was my mall in highschool back in the 80’s!!

Great Scott Marty, we need to go back. To lone pines mall. Back to the future is My favorite movie The mall will always live in the back to the future Movie But if I ever get a chance to go to California again. I have to stop at this mall. And check it out. Awesome video, tho

I remember when this mall opened. I was 10 years old. We would ride skateboards to the mall. The Gap was my very first job ever. I was coming home from work the night Back to the Future was filmed. I could t get through so I just stopped and watched. If you look closely you can see my headlights in the background. Moved away from California a long time ago. But this has fond memories.

Oh my god. My malls on ytb! Dude I grew up with this mall and my mom always took me here as soon I learned how to walk. I remember the koi pond. The toy stores. Sadly I wasn’t born yet when the carousel was around. I’m happy it’s not closing. Bc mainly of the hot pot restaurant, round 1 arcade ( my fave) and the amc. Those places are bustling on weekends. Just found out the Bath and body just moved their store across the street next to the Marshalls.

Stores to remember: Karl's Toys and Hobbies Casa de Candles J.K. Gill's Small World Gifts and Novelties And towards the late 90s, a store that catered to all sorts of geeky stuff. Comics, video games, memorabilia, even had PC gaming towards the back. Have no idea what it was called.

Game stop was there a long time ago..lol got my DSI from there when it first came out.. Pre-ordered

I remember that a few months ago my dad and I went there and when we went inside were shocked as to how dead the mall was the only bright side was we took a picture of the twin pines sign

Man I always went to that mall during my high school days. I remember “Back to the Future” was filmed there. Lots of great memories! I lived closer to The Fashion Plaza in West Covina, however.

I miss the old mall, when it was busy and full of life in the 70’s and 80’s. I’m bus operator for Foothill Transit, Puente Hills is one of our layover spots. It’s just so sad to go inside the mall now. City of Industry needs to put something else in here now.

I once had a brilliant idea for a food court restaurant. It would be kind of like Hot Dog On a Stick, but it would be Hamburger On a Stick. LMAO!!!

I worked at the best products right outside the mall when I was in college at Cal Poly and used to go to the mall for lunch I remember when they filmed back to the future there

I lived in the housing track right across the street from the mall. I remember when this mall was just a hugh dirt field. In fact, there was nothing but a gas station on the corner of Azusa and Colima. My family moved away before the mall opened, but I did get a chance to shop there a few times. It was the biggest mall I had ever been in. I was amazed at how big it was. Too bad. I like the way you mention " Twin Pines" and later "Lone Pine" Mall. Thanks for the memories.

RIP puente hills mall..

On the opposite direction there's Westminister Mall in a similar state of sadness. In this day and age, we're oversaturated with malls and promenades/centers and online shopping. Why go to Puente hills mall when West Covina Mall is up to date and not that far off. Why go to Westminister Mall, when you can go to the Huntington Beach shopping center right off the freeway as well? They're in the same direction. Oversaturation of malls is a very 90s, early 00s thing. We need something, we'd go to the mall. No need to drive around looking for stuff. No online to order and pickup in store; much less check inventory. Sign of the times I guess

Wow, that is so sad. It reminds me of our hilltop mall/the shops at hilltop in the bay area. Yes I remember the mall directories and I used to collect mall directory Mabs back in the day. Thanks for the video. Sad to see them all decline like that.

Thank you for the upload Eric!.😎

People please stop stealing/tearing off the letters on the Twin Pines Mall sign. First it was the Letter 'A.' Now its the Letter 'M.' Oy vey. 9:41

My childhood mall is now a ghost town. Those were the days.

Puente Hills was the place to go in the 80s. They had so many restaurants like the Velvet Turtle, Black Angus, PJ Pizzaz, Malibu Showboat, etc. I miss those days. Anyone have pictures???

Anyone remember the Old Fashioned Ice Cream Bars? It was upstairs and they would dip the bars in either chocolate or vanilla and press it against rainbow sprinkles or nuts.

glad I witnessed the mall in it's popular times... late 70's to about 82, then sparsely after that.

I remembered my first day, 1986.

Grew up with it..ironically, wasn't really into BttF.

There is no future plans for the small except they're going to level it and they're going to build housing apartments

Can you do one of my favorite malls the Red Cliffs, Mall in St., George, Utah

My GF used to drag me there in 1984-85.

Fun fact: There was once a wedding inside at the Puente Hills Mall.

You did not mention the Howard Johnsons restaurant that opened there in 1971

Have You Ever Played Donkey Kong Country (1994) For The SNES Because The Puente Hills Mall Now Looks Like The Mine Levels From Donkey Kong Country?

You said in Back to the Future it was called the Twin Pines Mall and then became the Lone Pine Mall. I wonder what happened to the other pine? Maybe somebody drove into it in the parking lot and knocked it over, so now there's only one pine left. HA HA

I went there

Just went there yesterday. 😊

No you did not walk the entire mall, or you would have seen the mall's newest tenant - Chinese hot pot restaurant "Haidilao" that opened almost 2 years ago.

Sadly this mall is dead...barely any stores are open. The west covina and santa anita malls are way better and have people
