Lakeside Shopping Center, Metairie
Facts and practical information
Lakeside Shopping Center, or simply Lakeside, is a shopping mall located at 3301 Veterans Memorial Boulevard in the New Orleans suburb of Metairie, Louisiana, United States. It opened on March 24, 1960 as the first regional shopping mall in New Orleans and is the largest and busiest mall in Greater New Orleans. Lakeside is a 967,000 sq ft mall with three major retail anchors. 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 mall that opened in 1966 and is located about 2 miles 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. ()
