HOOVER, Alabama -- Two new retailers are expected to open stores this fall at the Riverchase Galleria: Michael Kors and Cathy Jean Shoes.

Michael Kors, which opened a lifestyle store at The Summit shopping center in Birmingham last year and has an outlet in Foley, is slated to open in the former bebe space on the Galleria's lower level, next to Coach, according to the mall.

Cathy Jean Shoes, which is opening its first location in Alabama, will fill in the former Strom Jewelers spot across from Skechers.

The California-based women's shoe retailer has 49 stores in the U.S., and the new Alabama store is part of the company's expansion in the Southeast, said Van Nguyen of Cathy Jean.

The 1,500-square-foot store will open in mid-October.

Meanwhile, workers are wrapping up a major redevelopment project at the Galleria, which has included updates throughout the property.

This fall, shoppers should expect to see new interior landscaping and new furniture arrive at the mall. And just outside the mall, the ABC store will be renovated, a project that will start in the coming weeks, said Christopher White, the mall's marketing manager.

The new Von Maur department store, a centerpiece of the revamp, is set for a Nov. 2 grand opening.
