Acadiana Mall (French: Centre commercial de l’Acadiana) is an enclosed regional shopping mall in the city of Lafayette, Louisiana, 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, but is now owned by Namdar Realty Group.
Currently, Acadiana Mall houses three department store anchors (Dillard's, JCPenney and Macy's).
The mall received a minor facelift in the early 1990s and a major renovation in 2004, bringing in a more contemporary look.
