- Not to be confused with Loveman Village.
Loehmann's Village was an outdoor mall-type shopping center located at Montgomery Highway and Lorna Road in Riverchase. The $9 million project was developed by Johnson Rast & Hays on a 24.5-acre site.
Designed by Crawford, Giattina & Mitchel and anchored by Loehmann's department store, it opened on September 24, 1979.
The shopping center was renovated as an outward-facing lifestyle center, called Riverchase Village Shopping Center, in the 1990s.
Service Merchandise was one of the original Loehmann's Village tenants. Its 52,000 square-foot store was the first Alabama location for the Nashville-based chain. After it closed in 2002, the building was demolished and a new building was constructed where Best Buy is currently located.
