Caheen's, originally Caheen Dry Goods Store, also known as Caheen Bros. Inc. was a department store which operated in Birmingham from 1883 to 1937. It was founded by brothers Fred and Sol Caheen.
The store was originally located at 2018-2020 1st Avenue North next to the Brown-Marx Building. Around 1891 it moved to the new 3-story Caheen Building at 1924–1926 2nd Avenue North.
In 1926 the store launched a successful advertising campaign to remind men that the store, popular with female shoppers, also had a men's furnishings department.
Parisian took over the Caheen Building in 1937.
