New Orleans BF Shoppers

[mflower25]

Where are you guys going to shop?

My Mom and I were thinking maybe AL

Baton Rouge would be a good place to shop. If you feel like driving a bit further, Lafayette also has some great stores (I am nearby).

 

Lots of great stores there, and would still keep the sales in Louisiana (where it is needed).

has it been busier in your area since the hurricane? if not we would be fine with going closer to home

[kalidust]

From what I understand for both Baton Rouge and Lafayette, things have been busy for both places.

 

Baton Rouge has the Mall of Louisiana along with several other malls, and lots of shopping centers. Lafayette has the Mall of Acadiana and many shopping centers. Baton Rouge does have more options that Lafayette though.

Foley's

McRaes - currently going out of business

 

Mall at Cortana:

Sears

Foley's

Dillards

JcPenney

Mervyn's

Steve & Barry's

 

We have two Targets and about a million Wal-marts - no KMart but there is one in Gonzales. 2 BB&B, 2 Old Navy, 2 Academy, 1 L&T, 1 Best Buy, 1 Circuit city, 1 Harbor Freight.

 

We also have about a million people fighting for spots in those parking lots right now. On a typical Saturday these days, expect it to take at least half an hour to get from one store to another on Siegan Lane. Everything seems to be picked over already and I'm hoping that they restock shelves before BF.

I was just at Lakeside today. Not all the stores are open but I'm sure the rest are racing to get ready for the Christmas season. Also, the TRU in Slidell is open and all the stores in the Slidell mall except for Dillard's (women's) is open.

 

I will stay in the Mandeville/Slidell area. Have fun!
