Southgate Plaza is a smaller shopping centre just off Main South Road at Morphett Vale. It's more…read moreof a semi circle of shops with verandahs rather than an enclosed centre. Parking is usually not too bad but it can get rather hectic at times. Now they have moved the K-Mart Tyre & Auto into a brand newly built shop at the outer edge of the carpark it loses a little more room for parking. It's main attractions are Coles and Target then there are about 40 specialty shops. So a bit of everything is represented really. There's a Subway, EB Games, Priceline Pharmacy, Australia Post, Homeart, butcher, cafe, bottle shop, shoes, clothes, fruit and veg, mobile phones, a good mix for whatever you are looking for. These's even a Sushi shop I noticed the other day. I don't eat the stuff so never really noticed before. Worth a look or for somewhere different to go. I could see lots of locals using it often but the main drawcard that gets me there is Target (as it's the only one in the Southern area) or on a few odd occasions catalogues from Homeart or Tandy have made me make the trip here.

This outdoor shopping plaza is like an upmarket colonnades. While it doesn't match it terms of…read morerange, it has all the key stores and franchises a plaza needs. There is a subway (that automatically places it a good stead), a Baker's Delight (another good point), a lovely small butchers store, Target, Coles, a supersized Newsagency, a Pharmacy and even a nice little sushi bar. Southgate Plaza's main attraction is target, a nice department store. This is one of the largest Target stores south of Adelaide and has a great range. The other stores are quite nice too and you pretty much have one of each store type. Parking is really easy, however it gets harder at Christmas (very difficult during sales even though there are umpteen many parking spaces). They run competitions at Christmas time where you can win gift cards. These are worth entering, and the atmosphere is quite positive. It doesn't get too busy during the week, which is good too.

Visited this store to buy one of my children shoes, no one was even remotely interested in serving…read moreor helping us, instead they busily chatted amongst themselves, shoe range is ordinary anyway and they look cheap. Spent my money elsewhere and received much better service. In these economic times sales people need to lift their game really. I constantly get this attitude and terrible service because of my age.
