[2] With stores on three levels, Mic Mac Mall is a major shopping destination for the Maritimes and the only location for Decathlon east of Quebec.

[3] A Sobeys supermarket was initially planned, but Dominion ended up winning the tender to establish a store in the complex.

[3][4] Construction was carried out by Robert MacAlpine Ltd.[5] Originally anchored by Simpsons and Eaton's, the mall was officially opened in November 1973 by Nova Scotia premier Gerald Regan, Mi'kmaq grand chief Donald Marshall, and Dartmouth mayor Eileen Stubbs.

[11] Over the years, Mic Mac Mall had either delighted or frightened children with a talking Christmas tree named Woody.

The tree gained national and international attention after it was shown on the November 23, 2021 episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

[14] Mic Mac Mall is home to the Micmac Terminal, a major hub for Halifax Transit buses.
