Riverchase Galleria adding stores despite potential sale
Despite being listed for sale in June 2026, Riverchase Galleria continues to attract new tenants, adding two major retailers within the past year — JD Sports, the UK-based retailer in August 2025 and Urban Planet this month.
The Galleria is one of the biggest malls in the Southeast, with nearly 150 stores, a hotel, office space, and even a classic carousel.
Hoover Mayor Nick Derzis says he’s all in on bringing the Galleria back.
“I want everyone to know that my administration and the Hoover City Council is doing everything we can to bring back the Galleria to the days that we remember. We are pursuing every opportunity to make sure we can get this economic engine back and—if possible—better than ever before.”
