Aland's was a Birmingham-based chain of specialty women's clothing stores.
Aland's Inc. was incorporated on July 1, 1964 by Ralph Aland, president, Jack Levin, vice president, and Jack Aland, secretary-treasurer. It opened its first retail location at 2226 Bessemer Road in Five Points West on November 5 of that year. The store featured an expansive line of sportswear, a balcony with ready-to-wear fashions, separate departments for "junior petites" and "tall girls", and uniform, millinery and lingerie sections. The interior was decorated in pecan wood with gold, off-white, and beige accents and textured wall coverings.
