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.{{cite news |date=August 2013 |title=Micronesia Mall Celebrating 25 Years: History & Growth |pages=6, 8 |url=http://content-static.guampdn.com/guampublishing/special-sections/micronesiamall/MicroMall25Annv.pdf |work=Pacific Daily News |accessdate=November 19, 2021}} Its first store was a Sterling Department Store, which opened ahead of the rest of the mall.{{cite news |last=Counsell |first=Pat |date=August 9, 1988 |title=Sterling opens in Micronesian Mall |page=1 |work=Pacific Daily News |url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/89250163/sterling-opens-in-micronesian-mall/ |via=Newspapers.com |accessdate=November 19, 2021}} The store was later purchased by Liberty House in 1994, which was replaced by Macy's in 2001. A major expansion was completed in 1998, doubling the mall's size.
