If shopping is a sport, then Ross Dress for Less at Micronesia Mall is the Olympic arena—and I just walked out with a gold medal, two carts full of stuff, and a receipt longer than my moral compass on payday.
First of all, walking into this Ross is like entering a vortex where time doesn’t exist. I went in for “just a quick look,” and emerged three hours later with new clothes, random kitchen gadgets, an electric foot massager, five candles I don’t need, and a set of bed sheets I swear are softer than my dreams. I think I even aged a little—but in a fabulous new shirt, so it’s fine.
The store itself is a beautiful chaos. You never know what you’ll find—sometimes it’s a $200 designer purse for $35, sometimes it’s a single sock with a tag that says “Live Laugh Lint.” But that’s part of the adventure. Shopping at Ross is like digging for buried treasure if the pirates were really into discount athleisure wear.
Customer service? Surprisingly patient, considering I asked where the dog accessories were and if they sell ring lights (answer: no idea, but I still found one somehow). Props to the cashier who didn’t blink when I showed up with a cart stacked like I was prepping for fashion week and the apocalypse at the same time.
Is it messy sometimes? Sure. But that’s how you know it’s authentic. If everything were organized, it would be Nordstrom Rack, not Ross. Here, the chaos is the charm.
Final Verdict: 10/10, would lose track of time and money again. Ross Micronesia Mall didn’t just take my wallet—it took my stress and replaced it with joy, bargains, and a new bathrobe I absolutely didn’t need but...
Read moreRoss in Guam offers a surprisingly good selection of name-brand items, from clothing and shoes to home goods and travel accessories. It’s one of the few places on island where you can consistently find solid deals on quality merchandise. Whether you're a local or a tourist, the variety is impressive, and inventory is restocked often, so there's usually something new to discover on each visit.
However, the biggest downside is the checkout line. It’s notoriously long, often stretching to the back of the store. Compared to Ross locations in the mainland U.S., Guam’s line is easily twice as long—and slower. Expect to wait anywhere from 30 minutes to over an hour during peak times, especially weekends or after work hours. This can make a quick shopping trip turn into a test of patience.
Despite that, the staff generally do their best under pressure, and the savings often make the wait worth it—if you come prepared. Pro tip: go early in the morning or late in the evening to avoid the worst of the crowd.
Overall, great finds and value, but bring your patience for the line. A little more staffing at the registers could take this Ross from...
Read moreGood store to find cheaper stuff. But it’s not the same thing in US stores (mainland) they call it. We bought a backpack in a US store on the last day of shopping before the trip. Too late to find out that the bag is broken. The zipper broke on me during a flight to Guam. When we got there, we bought another new one but in a different brand, and the line was too long, but it was a kinda bit quick. Then, after changing my bag, I try to return the old (broken) one, but you have to fall in line again. They don’t have a return counter like...
