Green Springs Shopping Center is a large strip mall occupying the entire west side of the 200 block of Green Springs Highway in Homewood, north of Oxmoor Road and currently anchored by Floor & Decor.
The center opened on July 27, 1967 on a site which included the former site of Oak Grove Cumberland Presbyterian Church. The 100,000-square-foot shopping center was developed by Dan Thompson for an initial cost of $1,125,000. Even before the first stores (Grant's "Grant City" department store, Bradford House restaurant, and Rietta Fabrics) opened, he announced an additional 50,000 square feet for the second phase. Other early tenants included Central Bank, Kroger-SupeRx Drugs, Lochamy's and Beverage Coin Operated Laundry. Later tenants included Spats, Standard Distributors, Handy Dan and Handy City.
The center's previous anchor, Kmart, was originally located further south in Green Springs Square, a shopping center in the 800 block of Green Springs Highway. The southern portion of the original shopping center was demolished to build a new space for the store, which it moved to in 1992. Other current tenants include Dollar Tree, Harbor Freight, and Mi Pueblo. Outparcels are occupied by Burger King, Shell, and Lux Beauty. The outparcel at 248 Green Springs Highway was previously occupied by Blockbuster Video.
