'''Micronesia Mall''', located in [[Dededo]], is the largest shopping center on the island of [[Guam]].
A mix between an [[outlet mall]] and an indoor, American-style [[shopping mall]], Micronesia Mall's sole anchor is [[Macy's]], which is also the only Macy's store west of [[Hawaii]]. The mall is also home to designer boutiques such as [[Coach (company)|Coach]], [[Benetton]], [[Guess (clothing)|Guess]] and [[Levi's]]. In addition to a food court and the Micronesia Mall Theatres, there is also a 24-hour supermarket inside the mall, another deviation from the traditional American mall structure. A [[theme park]] is located inside the mall having [[roller coasters]], [[carousel]], [[bumper cars]] and an [[video arcade|arcade]]. It also has a [[KB Toys]] store which is the largest in [[Micronesia]].
Micronesia Mall's proximity to [[Andersen Air Force Base]] in [[Yigo]] attracts military personnel from that base, in contrast to its competitors [[Guam Premier Outlets]] in [[Tamuning]] and [[Agana Shopping Center]] in [[Hagatna]] which are closer to the Naval Base in [[Piti]] and [[Santa Rita]].
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, and thus 8/8/88 was considered a desirable date for a grand opening.
