The Lafayette store is one of 3 VS/Pink stores in the district to be opening, with the other two being Baton Rouge and Houma. We have not received word on the status of the Alexandria, Monroe, Shreveport, New Orleans, or other stores in the state.

With the recent announcement of the closing of over 200 Victoria's Secret stores, it's good to know that the Lafayette store will be reopening, giving at least a few people their jobs back.

Employees will be attending meetings to learn about new sanitizing, social distancing, and other safety protocols to prepare for the reopening.

The Acadiana Mall itself reopened on May 18th, but not all stores have been opened. According to the Acadiana Mall's Facebook page, here are the stores that have reopened as of 5/21 (the latest information posted):
