On WED MAR 30th, I spoke with the Operations Manager at Mall St. Vincent (1133 St. Vincent Avenue, Shreveport, LA 71104). He said they have an agreement with Tesla to construct a Supercharger location at the mall. (I had actually made a Supercharger location recommendation to Tesla about 18 months ago, to be located at the Louisiana Boardwalk Outlets in Bossier City, LA, a couple of miles from Mall St. Vincent. I kept in touch with the Boardwalk Mgt, but back in mid-FEB they said Mall St. Vincent got the nod.)
The SCs will be located in the northwest corner of the mall at the intersection of Southern Ave and St Vincent Ave, by Dillard's. Also, right at an I-49 interchange. There's already a SWEPCO (power company) marker stake in place, likely the location for the power source. Pretty sure there will be 8 charging spaces. The Ops Mgr knew nothing of permitting nor a construction schedule. Having the SCs in Jackson (Pearl), MS at I-20 now online, the Lindale, TX SCs at I-20 under construction, and Alexandria, LA at I-49 in permitting, maybe Shreveport could be next (but who am I to guess!). The mall includes the following (from their website): Great American Cookies, Grimaldi's Pizza, Nestle Tollhouse Cafe, Piccadilly Cafeteria, and Pretzel Maker. Don't think there's actually a food court. Have pics if I can figure how to add them.
