Birmingham's Century Plaza


CENTURY PLAZA opened, in 1975, as the Magic City's second 2-level shopping center. In its heyday, the interior was decorated in high-end '70s mod style.

Sears anchored the west end of the mall for over 33 years. In fact, it was the first store to open at CENTURY PLAZA (in 1975)...and the last to shut down (in 2009).

The east end of CENTURY PLAZA was anchored by Loveman's of Alabama. The store, which held its grand opening in August 1975, was the 6th branch of the B'ham-based chain and the last Loveman's of Alabama store to be built.
