Twin Pines Mall: Back to the Future Location
Located in City of Industry, California, the Puente Hills Mall served as the location for the Twin Pines Mall (and Lone Pine Mall) in the 1985 film, Back to the Future. This is the parking lot where Doc Brown first performs the time travel experiments with his custom DeLorean. As such, the mall has long been a popular site for fans of the iconic trilogy.We visited before news broke about the sale of the mall and its intended closure. The full plans are yet to be revealed, but with much of the Puente Hills Mall already vacant it’s expected that the site will be completely redeveloped, likely destroying the lot where the movie was filmed.One of the few remaining attractions here was a replica of the Twin Pines Mall sign located inside. A small collector’s shop was also the perfect spot to pick up a few Back to the Future souvenirs. I’m just glad we had the opportunity to see it before it disappeared for good.
