Some would say the shopping here isn’t as good as such nearby meccas as Manila, Hong Kong or Bangkok.
But as some locals will tell you, it all depends on where you look. Guam’s shopping experiences range from the mundane (think mall) to the exotic (think fresh caught-in-dead-of-night panglao, or crab, available only at the early morning flea markets).

Here is a glimpse of some shopping opportunities available here.

Acanta Mall: The Acanta Mall is one of the most eye-catching shopping malls on Guam, with its unique construction and colorful, open-air design. The mall houses a Jungle Java coffee shop, hip boutiques and the trendy Fishbowl bar. Located along San Vitores Road in Tumon.

Agana Shopping Center: This is undergoing renovations this year, and is scheduled to reopen in December with an anchor department store. Inside, there’s a coffee shop, an Esprit store, card shop, a 24-hour Pay-Less supermarket and more.
