My association with this mall goes back many many years actually to the mid 70's it opened in 1972…read moreand was renovated in 1998, my first real job was here at a Hallmark owned shop, in those days these indoor malls were the thing and were filled with shoppers from the time the doors opened until they closed. It was rare to find an empty store and if there were any they weren't empty for long. Once I arrived for my shift there was no reason to leave unless I wanted to grab some Long John Silvers which in those days was just a short walk across the parking lot. The arcade was the hangout before work, after work or when visiting with my teenage friends on my days off - many of the people that worked in this mall back in the day were friends and we'd hangout on breaks usually at the Orange Julius counter, they sold the smoothies of the time, quick, delicious and cheap. The big retailers consisted of many that have long ago closed e.g Montgomery Wards, The White House, Piccadilly Cafeteria, record shops, and some very cool clothing stores that went by the wayside with disco music, we never knew how good the times were we were living in. I really didn't know what I'd be stepping into during my recent visit, my have things changed - although the main entrance opens early the stores and shops don't open until 11:00 AM, I got here a little early so I did a walk down memory lane and honestly it was like walking through the doors for the first time, I recognized nothing. There were quite a few people inside when I arrived some just enjoying the air conditioning other doing laps in their new shoes getting their steps in and a few security guards riding around on Segways all trying to emulate Paul Bart: Mall Cop. Well at the end of the day I was able to purchase what I came here for - unfortunately no Orange Julius anywhere in sight...

This Mall is ok to me!!…read more A rather small Mall, with the usual stores. Dicks Sporting Goods had that new feel to me. I did enjoy the air conditioning because Lake Charles gets crazy hot. I drove past it a few times looking for it, it's not very visible from the street. Easy parking, multiple entrances, the food court had plenty of fast food choices. I would come here when visiting again!!

My mother and myself went here one day and it is hardly worth the effort unless you are bored…read more There is 4 or 5 stores and half of the mall is closed off. I went to a gift shop that was hugely overpriced and purchased a scented burning wax block. I later got a better scent for half of the price at Kmart. I can't believe this place will be open for long. In my opinion, the only store that is really worth it is the one that has been there from the beginning: Vanity Fair.

I've only visited one other Ollie's prior to arriving here and this location wasn't anywhere close to my other experience and I mean that in a bad way. It's literally Impossible to locate anything without searching through the entire store, it's total chaos, there are no aisle identifiers, in my opinion it's more of a bad flea market than a retail store. I was looking for a specific item and after only a few minutes I knew that wasn't going to happen even if I had found members of the staff to assist me so I gave up after walking around aimlessly. I could be wrong but I don't think this was the original business model the founder intended, I understand the majority of the items here are sourced from over-stock suppliers and meant to provide huge discounts but the "good stuff cheap" company statement couldn't be further from the truth at this particular location - I'd definitely avoid buying food stuff here no matter how cheap things are there is no way the inventory is rotated or managed in my opinion nothing is managed here, how this store remains open is a mystery to me this was definitely not a good experience, the photos posted by the business owner had to be taken when the store was originally set up before the grand opening and doesn't remotely represent what I witnessed today...
