Journeys opening new Montgomery location this summer
Reading time: 2 minutes
A longtime staple of Montgomery’s footwear scene is adding a new location. Journeys, the trendy footwear and apparel retailer that has called Eastdale Mall home for decades, is coming to the Shoppes at Eastchase.
Work is already well underway at its future home, with storefront signage officially signaling the upcoming arrival.
Where to find the new Journeys location in Montgomery
Journeys will be taking over the space previously occupied by Champs Sports, located at 6824 Eastchase Parkway A105. Champs closed its doors in January 2024, and the prominent storefront has sat vacant until now.
While Journeys built its brand identity as an indoor mall destination for skate shoes, boots and streetwear, the new store reflects a broader nationwide trend. Over the last decade, the chain has increasingly ventured into outdoor lifestyle centers and power centers to meet changing consumer shopping habits.
- Current location: 1051 W Eastdale Mall, Montgomery, AL
- Future location: 6824 Eastchase Parkway A105, Montgomery, AL 36117
How consumer shopping habits are reshaping Montgomery retail
An exact opening date for the new Eastchase storefront has not yet been publicly announced, but shoppers can expect the transition to happen before summer wraps up.
