History

The centre opened on August 12, 1970 as Southgate Shopping Centre and was created by Woodward's and The Bay. At the time, it was the largest shopping centre west of Toronto and the first centre built in Alberta that housed two anchor department stores. In 1982, the mall expanded to include 80 new stores on its west side, a third floor for The Bay, expanded food floor at Woodward's, and additional parking. In 1993, Woodward's went bankrupt; its space was converted to Eaton's. In addition, Safeway occupied the food floor of the former Woodward's. By 1999, Eaton's went bankrupt and its space became a Sears the following year. On April 1, 1998, the centre announced that it would undergo a $13.2 million renovation which would see new flooring, ceilings, lighting, and skylights in building's interior, a new second level for specialty stores, and an expanded food court. To coincide with the renovation, the centre's name was changed to Southgate Centre. Renovations were completed in March 1999. An Edmonton Public Library branch operated in the mall from 1971 until 2002, when it relocated to nearby Whitemud Crossing. In 2007, the mall underwent a $114 million expansion which included an additional 150,000 square feet of space for over 30 new stores and services, a new food court, and a new two-level parking deck above the expansion. The mall held its grand reopening in August 2009. The following year, as part of the south extension of the Edmonton LRT system, Southgate station held its opening ceremony was on April 24, 2010. Apple opened a second store in Edmonton at Southgate Centre on May 28, 2010. On August 12, 2010, the mall celebrated the 40th anniversary of its opening. In June 2013, Edmonton's first Lego store opened. In 2020, the mall underwent a $93 million expansion which saw the former Sears space repurposed as a new mall common area with three floors, with a London Drugs and H&M, which was completed in 2022.
