Heritage Towne Centre is an 85,289 square-foot retail shopping center located at 833–873 Dennison Avenue Southwest, at the intersection of Martin Luther King Jr Drive, just south of Elmwood Cemetery in Birmingham's Woodland Park neighborhood.

The shopping center was part of a larger 70-acre residential subdivision developed by attorney Lynn Battle in partnership with Dan Roberts. The center itself was developed by Wideman & LaFoe Associates of Jackson, Mississippi for $5.8 million. It opened in March 1992, and was originally marketed and leased by Roberts & Hand.

Larry Thornton opened his first McDonald's franchise at the corner outparcel of the shopping center later in June 1992.

The center is currently anchored by a Sav-A-Lot discount grocery store. Its parent, Moran Foods, received about $650,000 in incentives from the City of Birmingham in 2010 to renovate and lease the former Food-World space at the western end of the center after an earlier request for $3.3 million was rejected. The new store occupied only 20,000 square feet of the former 50,000 square-foot supermarket. The remainder was partitioned off and later leased to Rose's Express.

Shannon Waltchack led a group of investors which acquired the shopping center property in 2014 for $5,636,000 from an affiliate of Churchill Capital Co. of Dallas, Texas.

In 2021 Community Shelves LLC applied for and received a $1 million loan plus another $750,000 in public incentives from the city to acquire, renovate and operate the anchor grocery store, which had been slated to close.

In 2023 Shannon Waltchack sold the shopping center to Northward Development of Boston, Massachusetts for $5.2 million. The Save-A-Lot grocery store closed on August 31 of that year.
