Limketkai Center (Chinese: 林市場偕中心, or 林克凱中心; pinyin: Lín Kèkǎi Zhōngxīn; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Lîm Khiat-khái Tiong-sim) is a shopping mall in Cagayan de Oro, Philippines.
Located in the city's central business district, particularly within the mixed-use 40 hectare Limketkai Center in Lapasan, the sprawling, two-storey mall has over 500 tenants, offering stores, boutique shops, fast-food chains and restaurants.
It also offers facilities including four movie theatres, food courts, entertainment and day-care centers, spas and clinics.
Situated adjacent to the Limketkai Luxe Hotel and across from The Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf, it is connected to the mall via a skybridge.
[22] In 2014, the Masses were moved to another location – this time to a brand-new Roman Catholic chapel inside the mall's east annex next to Shopwise.
[33][34][35] Rosario arcade is an al fresco area, and a popular bar strip in Cagayan de Oro which has been a night life and dining destination in the city.
[36] Since its opening in 1991, Limketkai Mall has been under constant renovation and expansion, in order to compete with the national retailers such as SM and Ayala that expand their businesses in the city.
Connecting the east concourse wing is a value-hypermarket, Shopwise, which has an indoor automated car park on its first level offering 500 slots.
Another multilevel building, now called AllHome, is said to rise soon at the mall's parking D area between Shell's gasoline station and the loop showroom.
The bombing killed at least six and injured 48 others, many of whom were members of the Philippine College of Chest Physicians, who were attending their national midyear convention held at nearby Grand Caprice.
[36][41] Investigations found out that it was the Abu Sayyaf who led the incident and pointed out Renierlo Dongon as the primary suspect of the bombing.
[43] Since 2009, concerns have been raised from several church groups and organizations after a casino was planned to open inside the mall complex.
[44][45] The casino would be operated under Diamond Millenium Corporation, represented by Lorenzo U. Limketkai, and have a PAGCOR e-Games Station.
[47][48][49] The Archdiocese of Cagayan de Oro expressed their opposition to this proposal, saying that the chapel could be removed and Mass would no longer be celebrated if the plan were to go ahead.
