Oak Park Square Shopping Center in Lake Charles to Reopen

On July 6, 2022, Lake Charles Mayor Nic Hunter announced the reopening of Oak Park Square. Oak Park Square is the shopping center on Gertsner Memorial Drive that housed Big Lots, Hobby Lobby, Harbor Freight, and other retailers before being destroyed by Hurricane Laura in 2020. Mayor Hunter thanked Donny Jarreau for joining locals in announcing the $10 million+ reinvestment in the community.

It was also announced that Big Lots, as well as other retail spaces, will be returning to the shopping center, bringing much-needed economic activity and over 100 jobs to East Lake Charles.
