Acadiana Mall, called the Mall of Acadiana for a time, is an enclosed regional shopping mall in the city of Lafayette, Louisiana, and is located at the intersection of Johnston Street (U.S. Route 167) and Ambassador Caffery Parkway (Louisiana Highway 3073). It opened in 1979 and was developed by Robert B. Aikens & Associates, and is now owned by CBL & Associates Properties. Today, Acadiana Mall houses four department store anchors (Macy's, J.C. Penney, Sears, and Dillard's).
J. C. Penney built in 1990 on the site of a closed Selber Brothers,[2] while Dillard's was formerly D. H. Holmes. The Macy's store opened as Goudchaux's/Maison Blanche, and was sold to Parsian in 1998.[3] Parisian became Foley's in 2001[4][5] before converting again to Macy's.
The mall received a minor facelift in the early 1990s and a major renovation in 2004, bringing in a more contemporary look. On February 21, 2013, the mall changed its name back to Acadiana Mall.[6]
