In the 1990s and early 2000s (showing my age) the Riverchase Galleria was the best place to shop in…read morethe Birmingham area. Over time, competition from places like The Summit, the rise of online shopping, store closures (Sears, Rich's, Macy's and Belk Home and Kids), then the shootings in 2018 and 2020 led to a huge decline.For a while, it felt like the Galleria would not be able to recover. Well, now it's 2026, and the popularity of the Galleria is rising again. The mall feels brighter, cleaner and safer, due to improved management and security. It's a great spot to spend time indoors during AL's extreme heat, cold or rain (it offers covered parking too). Best of all, the iconic features remain, like the large American flag and classic carousel in the central atrium, and (best of all) Santa's workshop during the holiday season, and make it a fun alternative for young families and grandparents. So if you haven't been to the Galleria in a while, give it a try. It is worth a visit again.

My one and only reason to come to this shopping center is to go to Stein Mart. I have gone to several of the other stores that make up this shopping complex but I wish there were better desirable shopping options other than what's currently located here. Overall , this shopping center is clean and there is a big parking lot available to accommodate many people. One plus side is that there are other shopping, restaurants, coffee shops in the area. Vestavia City Center is located in the heart of Vestavia so it's in a centralized location!

They have a nice selection of restaurants that range from Steak house to Cajun to Hibachi - and they also have some faster options like Firehouse and a brick fire pizza place. Sports clips - my primary place I go for hair cuts. An Alabama/Auburn fan store, Gamestop, Dicks Sporting Goods, World Market, Ross, Bookstore - shoe store - just a little bit of everything (sorry if I left something off). This place makes it simple. You need a haircut and want to get lunch - it can all be done here in a pretty reasonable amount of time. Highly recommend if you find yourself in the Hoover area.

The assistant manager immediately warmly greeted us and gave us some direction in regards to the different sections of the store. She also gave us a card that is stamped each time you make a purchase. After ten stamps, you get $50 off your purchase. As we walked through the store, we saw many interesting items, from furniture to jewelry to real fur coats. There was an African section and we knew right away that we'd be purchasing something from this section. We decided on an African djembe that was the painted with bright colors. It's going to look great in our living room. At check out, they request to see your driver's license if you're paying with a card, which is something I like. I definitely see myself coming back to this store. You should check it out!

She called the manager over and he refused to even look at the receipt making something up about inventory.

Overall would say this store doesn't care about customer service and only cares about doing the least amount of work possible. Would try to stick to the Homegoods on 280.
