The former home of Lovoy's restaurant, at 420 Green Springs Highway, has been torn down.
The three-generation, family-owned Italian restaurant had opened downtown in 1954 and moved to the Green Springs location, between Paw Paw Patch and Aldi's, in 1964. Lovoy's operated there until it moved to SoHo square in 2010. Lovoy's closed permanently in 2012, and its SoHo Square location is now home to SoHo Social.
According to Jefferson County public records, the deed for the property was sold for $600,000 by Harold Robert Stephens to AL Homewood Green Springs LLC, on March 5. The LLC's associated address is connected to RealtyLink development company, which is based in Greenville, South Carolina, and has a Vestavia Hills-based regional office.
According to RealtyLink, the property will be home to a Smoothie King. Site preparation will be complete in June, and RealtyLink estimated a fall opening of the smoothie franchise.
