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 Giattina Fisher Aycock 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.
