Queens Center opened in 1972 on land previously occupied by a children's amusement park named Fairyland, a supermarket and automobile parking. From 2002–2004, a massive renovation of the mall took place, doubling its size by expanding and renovating the original mall and adding a new wing across the street. The two wings are connected by a large multi-level bridge over 92nd Street.
Its anchor stores are Macy's and JCPenney, each located at different ends of the mall.
The Macy's location in Queens Center was chosen as a model site to be open 24 hours a day during the Christmas shopping season, for 83 straight hours, from 7 a.m. on Thursday, December 21 until 6 p.m. on Sunday, December 24, 2006, when the doors close on Christmas Eve. The location was chosen as it is one of the busiest locations in the country.
