Next to Wrigley's, there was a Woolworth's store at 13591 Eureka in 1957. The store was a fixture of the center for many decades but was shuttered by 1990. In recent years, a Sears Hardware had been located at Woolworth's old address, but it closed its doors in 2006. Original tenant Kresge's (13751 Eureka) lasted until the early 1980s, when the [[Sears Holdings|Kmart]] chain consolidated all its operations under one name and closed the store (Kmart had a store barely two blocks away). A Tri-State Furniture outlet appeared; replaced in the early 1990s with [[Old Country Buffet]].

Stores in the Southgate Shopping Center in 1957 included anchors Federal's department store, Wrigley's, Woolworth's, and Kresge, as well as smaller stores like shoe stores (Holiday Flagg, Kinney Shoes, A. S. Beck, and Thom McAn), women's apparel (Three Sisters, Winkelman's, Vanity Fair, Hartman's), Cunningham Drugs, National Finance, Good Housekeeping, United Shirt Distributors, Danby's Men's Wear, Children Outfitters, and Queen Quality Laundry and Dry Cleaner. By 1959, the following stores had been added: Al's Record Shop, Suzy Hats, Irving's Fabrics, Cameras and Gifts, and Monroe Optical.

The center's lineup in the 1970s included such stores as The Branch, Fotomat kiosk, Harmony House, Henry's Meat House, Howard's Books, LaPrima Music, Lawrence Office Supply (a Hallmark Card outlet), Pearle Vision, The Pet Gallery, Vic Tanny's, and Youth Center Outfitters.
