Lakeside Shopping Center

Lakeside Shopping Center, or simply Lakeside, is a mall located at 3301 Veterans Memorial Boulevard in the New Orleans suburb of  Metairie, Louisiana. It first opened on March 24, 1960, as the first regional shopping mall in New Orleans and is the largest and one of the busiest malls in the New Orleans metro area. Lakeside is a 967,000 sq ft (89,800 m2) mall with three major retail anchors (Dillard's, Macy's, and Zara). There are also more than 120 stores and restaurants. Lakeside once operated a 5-screen movie theater in a satellite complex near Dillard's but competition from newer stadium style theaters forced its closure and its eventual demolition for additional satellite retail space in 2000. The smaller Clearview Mall, a property opened in 1966 and located about 2 miles (3 km) to the West on Veterans Memorial Boulevard, had never operated a movie theater on its property since its opening. That mall greatly expanded its food court and added 12 screens with stadium style seating in 2001.
