LOS ANGELES \u2013 Jan. 3, 202<\/strong>1 \u2013<\/strong> Film viewers have been in for a surprise while watching Warner Bros. Pictures\u2019 \u201cWonder Woman 1984.\u201d Shown among the opening scenes is a fictional Virginia indoor shopping mall with retail stores from that period, including a Lamps Plus lighting store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The scene is memorable, but in the real world, Lamps Plus has never had a store in an indoor mall or on the East Coast. But in the DC Universe, the retailer is shown having a successful storefront on the mall\u2019s second level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In reality, the sequence was shot in summer 2018 at the now shuttered Landmark Mall located in Alexandria, Va.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn a year of unpredictability, we were excited to see a lighting store with our logo in \u2018Wonder Woman 1984,\u2019\u201d Lamps Plus Founder and CEO Dennis Swanson said. \u201cWe weren\u2019t aware of this prime placement in the mall scene, but it was a wonderful holiday season surprise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lamps Plus<\/a> was founded in North Hollywood, Calif., in 1976 with the opening of its first store. In 1984, the company had about a dozen stores in California only. Currently, the company has dozens of stores in seven western states and a thriving e-commerce business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lamps Plus is one of the most successful current retail brands in the scene. The company’s 2020 revenue is about $500 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe scene perfectly captures the authenticity of a shopping mall from that era instead of using campy, retro clich\u00e9s,\u201d Swanson said. \u201cFor some, the scene provides nostalgia of a 1980s mall shopping experience, while for younger audiences, it offers a window into that time. Either way, it\u2019s a fun scene and Lamps Plus is grateful to be included.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The film set had 65 retail stores re-created from the era, according to USA Today. Several of the retailers, like Waldenbooks, Chess King and B. Dalton Bookseller, are no longer operating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe U.S. indoor shopping mall had greater importance in 1984 than it does today,\u201d Swanson said. \u201cThe mall was where people went to buy most of their clothing, gifts, books and music; and was often visited for socializing and movie watching. While indoor malls are still important now, the Internet has replaced some needs. Lamps Plus has always wondered what it would be like to open an indoor mall store so now we have one, but only in the ‘Wonder Woman 1984’ story.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
