Mall St. Vincent is an enclosed shopping mall located off Interstate 49 at 1133 St. Vincent Avenue in Shreveport, Louisiana, United States. It opened in February 1977 on the 100-acre site of the original St. Vincent's Academy, [3] a Catholic girls' school built by the Daughters of the Cross, from which it gets its name. The mall's main anchor store is Dillard's. The Sears anchor store closed in 2018. [4]

In 2014, the city government voted for a tax-payer funded proposal of $16.5 million US into Mall St Vincent, but the long-term fate of the retail mall remains in doubt. [5] An outdoor fountain included in the remodeling project was by 2017 crumbling and without water, with plants surrounding the structure having died. [6] In 2017, Grimaldi's Pizzeria and Gymboree closed their Mall St. Vincent operations; a local news article noted that online shopping and changing consumer habits have affected shopping malls; with as many as one in four closing within the next five years. [7] On June 6, 2018, it was announced that Sears would be closing in September 2018. [8] After declaring bankruptcy, New York & Co. closed all stores including its Mall St. Vincent storefront in 2020, while Auntie Anne's closed its doors in 2021. [9]
