In January 2022, Macy's announced the closure of its store at Colonial Brookwood Village. Thus, the Galleria was not only the first mall in Alabama with a Macy’s but also the last remaining mall in Alabama with a Macy’s. Renovation A $60 million renovation, first planned in 2011, was completed in 2013. The renovation plan, including a $25 million sales tax rebate, was approved by the Hoover City Council on October 17, 2011. As part of the renovation, the first Von Maur in Alabama opened in the space vacated by Macy's/Proffitt's/Belk. The Wynfrey Hotel was renovated and rebranded as a Hyatt hotel, "The Hyatt Regency Birmingham—The Wynfrey Hotel". In 2013, Belk announced plans to renovate its store at the Galleria, raising it to the level of a flagship location. Dave & Buster's and True Religion both opened at the mall in late 2018. 2018 shooting In November 2018, an altercation resulted in shots being fired and two injured at the Galleria during Black Friday weekend. Following the initial shooting, two officers from the Hoover Police Department approached and shot an alleged suspect, Emantic Fitzgerald Bradford Jr., who died at the scene, but later clarified to not be the shooter due to a misidentification. Protests were organized by a Birmingham activist group called Justice League, calling for a boycott of the Galleria. 2020 shooting On July 3, 2020, shots were fired near the food court of the mall at 3:18 PM EDT. An eight-year-old boy later died after being shot in the evening, and three others were hospitalized with injuries and was treated in a local hospital. On July 5, a 22-year-old suspect was arrested.
