Southland Mall is an enclosed shopping mall located in Houma, Louisiana, United States, at the intersection of Bayou Gardens Boulevard and West Park Avenue.[citation needed] It was remodeled in 2006.[1] The mall had required a curfew in 1996 because of teens fighting.[2] In 1998, the mall added a Santa fixture.[3] The movie theater closed in 2007.[4] Scooters were used for security in 2010.[5] During the summer of 2016, the Sears, which opened in 1966, closed after poor sales, as well as other Sears stores across the U.S.[6] Anchor stores are Dillard's and JCPenney.
