], Coffee Beanery and Cinnabon.Micronesia Mall's proximity to Andersen Air Force Base in Yigo , the Navel Communications Station (NCS) and the soon to be constructed Marine Corps Base on Route 3 is a convenience for active duty personnel and their dependents in contrast to its competitors Guam Premier Outlets in Tamuning and Agana Shopping Center in Hagåtña which are closer to the Naval Base in Piti and Santa Rita.
History
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.
