Wanda's is a strip joint in New Orleans, named after a regular performer named Wanda. By the beginning of Gump & Co., Forrest Gump has found a job as a janitor at Wanda's.

When Forrest is stationed in Alaska, he sees a "striptease artist" in a place called the Gold Rush Saloon, reminding him of Wanda's. Later, after Forrest's oystering business booms, he takes Little Forrest and Gretchen to see the Sugar Bowl, and invites several friends, including Wanda.
