- The Disney Store became a popular feature of shopping malls following its establishment in 1987.
- Old photos of the store depict an abundance of stuffed animals, large crowds, and holiday sales.
- These images also reveal the transformation the store underwent approximately 10 years prior to the closure of most locations.
The Disney Store evolved into the shopping-mall equivalent of the iconic theme parks, Disneyland and Disney World, years after their establishment.
According to the official Disney fan club D23, the first Disney Store opened its doors at the Glendale Galleria in Glendale, California on March 28, 1987.
D23 states that it was the inaugural store to offer Disney merchandise outside of the theme parks and Orlando Airport. Employees were trained to uphold the friendly and magical standards set by Disney World and Disneyland.
Throwback photos showcase the Disney Store during its prime, long before the majority of locations closed down in 2021, excluding outlet stores and the flagship store in New York City.
