Docomo Pacific today officially opened its new store in Micronesia Mall, featuring wider space and state-of-the-art equipment.
"Our history with Micronesia Mall goes back nearly 20 years, with this relocation and renovation being our most important to date. We have grown with the mall and with our customers," Dee Perez-Damian, Docomo Pacific's vice president for brand and customer experience, said at the ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday.
From its former location on the second floor, Docomo's new store is located in Concourse 4, Level 1, across from Macy’s Men store at the Micronesia Mall. The store features an open-concept layout of approximately 3,100 sq.ft. Floor-to-ceiling windows wrap around the space providing full visibility in and around the store.
"This project demonstrates our commitment to deliver the best-fit telecommunications solutions with an unmatched customer experience," Perez-Damian said, noting the company's evolution over the past decade.
"We can trace our roots to a HafaTel kiosk and a Guam Cell store here at the mall. In 2006, Docomo Pacific was established through the acquisition of HafaTel and Guam Cellular and Paging," she said.
When Docomo acquired MCV in 2013, Perez-Damian said, "we expanded, unveiling a retail space twice as large so we could present our customers with the full offer of quadplay telecommunications services."
She said the new investment was necessitated by the customers' need for more flexibility.
"During the pandemic, they relied on connectivity more than ever. The connections we enable link our customers to the world and to each other," Perez-Damian said.
