Agana Shopping Center is a shopping center located in downtown Hagåtña, in the United States territory of Guam. Opening in 1978, the mall is one of numerous malls on Guam. Main competitors include Micronesia Mall, Guam's largest shopping mall and Guam Premier Outlets in Tamuning.
The mall includes five theatres called Agana Center Stadium Theatres because of its true stadium seating capacity.
The shopping center was severely damaged when a typhoon struck the island in 2002. SM Prime Holdings, Philippines' largest developer of malls, bought the mall and opened its first SM Branch on US territorial soil on this mall since its previous attempt in the 1970s—before SM had grown into a retail giant. Agana Shopping Center also features recognized home-grown businesses such as Pay-Less Supermarkets and Shirley's Coffee Shop.
Notable fast-food chains include: Pizza Hut and Taco Bell, which have independent outlets on the outskirts of the mall.

Famous quotes containing the words shopping center, shopping and/or center:
“The most important fact about our shopping malls, as distinct from the ordinary shopping centers where we go for our groceries, is that we do not need most of what they sell, not even for our pleasure or entertainment, not really even for a sensation of luxury. Little in them is essential to our survival, our work, or our play, and the same is true of the boutiques that multiply on our streets.”
—Henry Fairlie (1924–1990)
“It was easy to see how upsetting it would be if women began to love freely where love came to them. An abyss would open in the principal shopping street of every town.”
—Christina Stead (1902–1983)
“The greatest part of each day, each year, each lifetime is made up of small, seemingly insignificant moments. Those moments may be cooking dinner...relaxing on the porch with your own thoughts after the kids are in bed, playing catch with a child before dinner, speaking out against a distasteful joke, driving to the recycling center with a week’s newspapers. But they are not insignificant, especially when these moments are models for kids.”
—Barbara Coloroso (20th century)
