Azalea Center Brings National Retail to South Gate

Primestor’s Azalea Regional Shopping Center has brought mainstream national retailers to South Gate, a predominantly Hispanic L.A. County city that has not previously been able to attract such tenants.

Primestor’s Azalea center is now home to Forever 21, TGI Friday’s, Petco, Wing Stop, and other major chains that don’t necessarily target a specific racial demographic.

Based on the Azalea center’s success, South Gate officials are now looking to redevelop the city’s Tweedy Boulevard, and bring in the type of shops found in the hip areas of L.A., such as Los Feliz and Silver Lake.
