Chick-fil-A is closing its Acadiana Mall location in Lafayette, Louisiana, after 46 years, marking the end of a landmark era.
The store, the first Chick-fil-A west of the Mississippi River in Louisiana, opened in March 1979 and became a nostalgic staple for locals.
The closure is part of a national trend shifting from mall-based to standalone locations, with only 40 to 50 mall stores remaining nationwide.
