Micronesia Mall, located in Dededo at the intersection of Guam Highways 1 and 16, is the largest shopping center in the Western Pacific in the United States territory of Guam.

A mix between an outlet mall and an indoor, American-style shopping mall with 130 merchants, Micronesia Mall's 149,377-square-foot (13,877.6 m2) anchor is Macy's, which is the only Macy's store west of Hawaii. The mall is also home to boutiques such as Gap, Gap Kids, Aerosoles and Levi's. In addition to a 24 restaurant food court and the Micronesia Mall 12 screen theatres featuring all stadium 3D/Digital technology, there is also a 24-hour supermarket inside of the mall, another deviation from the traditional American mall structure. Funtastic Park, an amusement park is located inside of the mall featuring seven rides including a roller coaster, carousel, bumper cars, Pirate Ship, Crazy Cans, Jungle Safari, Lady Bug and an arcade.

Other stores include: Guam's only 12,000 square foot Foot Locker store, ABC Store, Nautica, Swarovski, Folli Follie, Gamestop, Harnn & Thann, Vitamin World, Bench, and flip-flop shops.

Notable fast-food, restaurant and snack chains include: Burger King, Sushi Rock, Cold Stone Creamery, Denny's, Great American Cookie Company, KFC, Menchie's, Pretzelmaker, Sbarro, Subway, Taco Bell, Taco Del Mar, Tutti Frutti, Coffee Beanery and Cinnabon.

History[edit]

The Micronesia Mall opened on August 8, 1988, a date chosen by its owners for luck: The number "8" is considered a lucky number by Chinese and other Asian cultures.
