context_page_description: Southgate Mall is the sole enclosed shopping center in the sixteen county Historic Albemarle region of northeastern North Carolina. Located on West Ehringhaus Street in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, the mall is currently anchored by Belk and until its closing in early April 2015; JCPenney.
  Construction of the mall started in 1967 at a cost of $3 million, opening two years later as Southgate Plaza Shopping Center with senior anchors Belk-Tyler and W. T. Grant. Junior anchors Winn-Dixie and Peoples Drug filled positions intermediate to anchors and smaller shops.
context_section_description: Burke's Outlet (19,988 sq ft (1,857 m²)), 1 floor.
  (Formerly Winn-Dixie/JCPenney/Rose's Express 19,988 sq. ft. and Goody's 27,597 sq. ft., 1 floor.) 
  Junior anchor Winn-Dixie originally occupied this space from the mall's 1969 inception, filling a crucial grocery niche, a then-common 'well-rounded' approach in many early malls, often complemented by a variety chain as Woolworth's.  The supermarket departed the mall in 1985 for an off-site location, and was immediately replaced by JCPenney which relocated from downtown Elizabeth City.
  In 1996 JCPenney moved a second time to the 1993-vacated Rose's location, leaving the location vacant until 2002 when a short-lived Rose's Express store was established which then vacated the following year in 2003.  The space was again unoccupied for two years until 2005 when Goody's moved in, occupying the location until the chain's bankrupt demise in 2009.  The space has since been occupied by Burke's Outlet since February 2011.
  Dragon Buffet (12,760 sq ft (1,185 m²)), 1 floor.
  (Formerly People's Drug/Revco/CVS 12,760 sq. ft., 1 floor.) 
  The other original junior anchor, People's Drug was acquired by and converted to Revco in 1994.  Acquisition of Revco by CVS in 1998 led to retention of the location until relocation in 2003 to a free-standing off-mall location, leaving the mall without a drug store for the first time since its opening.
  The store was most notable for retaining its original 1960's layout, flooring and high ceilings throughout the People's Drug-Revco-CVS reign with only minimal maintenance, such as repainting.  In some cases, some features such as departmental signage were never updated.  A locally owned Chinese restaurant and existing mall tenant, Dragon Buffet, immediately relocated from the former Roses cafeteria location adjacent to JCPenney. Extensive conversion of the former drug store to an operational restaurant was completed in late 2003. Aside from the main buffet, the restaurant has three auxiliary entrances, one as a take-out counter, the second was a short-lived Japanese restaurant that as of a mid-2016 refurbishment was reintegrated into the main buffet dining area, and the third opens out into the mall corridor.
