Pecanland Mall is an enclosed shopping mall in Monroe, Louisiana. The mall was named Pecanland because the land on which the mall is located was formerly a pecan farm. The mall is on Interstate 20 near U.S. Highway 165, the two major highways in the area.

Pecanland Mall has 6 anchor stores: Belk, Tilt Studio, Dillard's, Dick's Sporting Goods, and JCPenney. The mall also features a 450-seat food court and 10-screen cinema.

History

Food court area inside the mall

The mall opened on July 24, 1985.[2]

In 2002, General Growth Properties acquired the mall for $72 million.[3] Mervyn's, an original tenant, closed in 2005 and became Burlington one year later, but closed by the late-2010s.[4]

In October 2012, Dick's Sporting Goods opened at the mall.[5]

In September 2018, Sears closed its location at the mall.[6]

In March 2019, Nickels and Dimes Inc of Celina Texas announced that Tilt Studio would open up at the mall in the former Mervyn's/Burlington. This marked Tilt's return to the mall, as its parent company originally operated Tilt Arcade at the Food Court in the late 1980s to 2012.[7] On August 12, 2020, Stein Mart filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Later, it was announced that all Stein Mart locations would be closing permanently.
