At the southeast corner of Eureka and Trenton Roads in Southgate, Michigan, there is a shopping area called Southgate Shopping Center. Until the nearby Southland Mall opened in 1970, it was one of the first significant strip malls in the southern Detroit suburbs and was finished by 1958. The shopping mall had nearly thirty stores at its height.

The Realty Mortgage and Investment Corporation of Detroit announced in 1952 that the multimillion-dollar Southgate Center would be built at Eureka and Trenton Roads and that "space has already been let to many Michigan chain stores, including Kinsel Drugs, Federal's, Wrigley Stores, S. S. Kresge, and others," with construction set to start in the fall of that same year.
