MAYFAIR MALL

'Mayfair Mall' is a shopping mall located on Mayfair Road (Highway 100) between North Avenue and Center Street in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA. Mayfair Shopping Center was constructed in 1958 by malting scion Kurtis Froedtert. It is managed by General Growth Properties. It serves the greater Milwaukee area.
Mayfair contains over 180 stores on two levels and is anchored by the area's only Macy's (formerly Marshall Field's) and a Boston Store (formerly Gimbel's) . Mayfair also has an AMC movie theatre.
The mall has undergone several makeovers. Originally built as an open air mall, in the early 1970s the mall was enclosed and two artificial rivers divided each side of the mall. Between the two rivers, a central multi-story "Bazar" was created and a large indoor ice rink served as a central feature. This rink was removed during the mall's second makeover in the 1980s and replaced with additional retail space and a central food court.
In addition to the mall itself, the mall property has several large multi-story office towers.
The mall has heightened race and class tensions Greater Milwaukee in recent months. A policy of no unaccompanied minors was instituted on Friday and Saturday nights in March of 2007 which many felt was unfairly targeted towards the black teenagers from Milwaukee who patronize the mall. The following month, a coalition of Milwaukee groups known as ACORN filed over 40 complaints of racial profiling against Mayfair with the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development.[1]
