The following are the first tenants at The Shoppes:

• CAVA
• Chipotle
• Five Guys Burgers and Fries 
• Nothing Bundt Cakes
• Tropical Smoothie Cafe
• Aspen Dental

Alabaster’s $242 million development

In late March, the city announced it had struck a $242 million deal to bring in approximately 600,000 square feet of new retail, restaurant and hotel space into the area.

According to a City of Alabaster news release, District 31 developer Alumni Properties also updated the Council on the status of the larger District 31 shopping center off Exit 238 on I-65.

They confirmed Hobby Lobby and Shoe Station have signed lease agreements at the larger location.
