Shopping
From large malls to souvenir and antique shops, Lafayette and its surrounding area (collectively known as Acadiana), have something for everyone. Lafayette is also the Hub City for shopping, drawing visitors from within a 50-mile radius. These 600,000 shoppers add up to continuously record-breaking sales tax revenues for Lafayette’s retail centers. The Mall of Acadiana offers national apparel stores, while lifestyle shopping centers are going up in neighborhoods for added convenience.
There are five major shopping areas: the Mall of Acadiana, Northgate Mall, the Oil Center, River Ranch Traditional Neighborhood Development and the downtown shopping area.
All five offer the consumer a great variety of goods and services in Lafayette, and each offers a unique atmosphere. At the Mall of Acadiana, shoppers can find major department stores and national retail chains, while Northgate Mall offers the same options across town. The Oil Center, River Ranch and the downtown area contain restaurants and house locally owned shops selling clothing, gifts and unique items. There are also dozens of additional shopping centers and national chains to meet the needs of shoppers.
A complete list of the merchants in all five areas can also be obtained from Lafayette Economic Development Authority at 337-593-1400.
