North Shore Square is a 621,192-square-foot (57,710.6 m2) shopping mall in Slidell, Louisiana. The mall is the largest mall on the Northshore of Lake Pontchartrain, fifth largest in the New Orleans area and the 11th largest in Louisiana.[5] The mall is home to three anchor stores, Dillard's, At Home and Conn’s, as well as approximately 23 other stores. All the anchor stores are on one level. The mall did not flood during Hurricane Katrina and experienced no serious damage. The mall formerly had Mervyns as an anchor store, but closed shortly after the storm when Mervyn's pulled out of the Louisiana market. The store was eventually replaced by Burlington Coat Factory, which is now closed due to corporate downsizing. Sears closed in June 2014 and was replaced by At Home.[6] JCPenney closed on July 31, 2017.[7] The mall has struggled partially due to increased internet-based sales as well as an open-air shopping center located on the opposite side of town, to which it lost some of its tenants.
North Shore Square came under new ownership in November 2006, after Toronto, Ontario, Canada based Revenue Properties Company Limited (a division of Morguard Corporation) purchased the mall's New Orleans based owner, Sizeler Property Investors. There is also a food court in the mall that consisted of Chick-fil-A, a pizza place, Auntie Anne's pretzels, a grill, a NOLA wings franchise and a Mexican cafe, all of which have since closed.[2][8][9] In early April 2019, it was announced by Morguard that the mall’s interior would be closed by the end of June, with the company planning to convert the mall into an open-air shopping center.
