When opened in 1970, Southland Mall consisted of three anchor stores: Hudson's at mall center, Woolworth's dime store, off the center court, and a Kroger supermarket on the eastern side. A two-screen movie theater was opened within weeks of the mall opening. Kroger built a new facility across Eureka Road in the mid-1970s, with JCPenney opening a store in 1976 in the former Kroger storefront.
The mall would see numerous renovations in the mid-1980s. During this time, Mervyn's became the fourth anchor store in 1985 when they opened their 75,000 square foot store on the mall's west end. 1993, a food court was added to the south end of the mall.
Hudson's was converted to Marshall Field's in 2001 due to a merger with parent company Dayton Hudson, and then to Macy's in 2006 upon its merger with Federated Department Stores. By this time, Mervyn's had closed all its Michigan stores as the chain decided to concentrate its efforts on its West Coast stores; the building remains vacant. Added to the growing vacancies was the food court, 75% empty by this time. Closed altogether in 2006, another renovation took place, and Best Buy electronics opened for business in its space in January 2007. The former occupants of the food court have either moved to other parts of the mall, or closed entirely.
The mall currently houses 98 stores and kiosks within its space, including anchor tenant Macy's. Of these, only Macy's and Big Boy remain in the mall in their original location since its 1970 opening.
