Following the construction of Highway 111, Mic Mac Mall was built in 1972 by The Hardman Group Limited (HGL) and opened in 1973.[3][2] Originally anchored by department stores Simpsons and Eaton’s, the mall underwent major expansions in 1978 and 1981.[3] 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.

Over the years, Mic Mac Mall had either delighted or frightened children with a talking Christmas tree named Woody. Woody would be set up in the centre court along with Santa where children would get the chance to talk to him. Woody had become a Christmas tradition at Mic Mac Mall and was around for over 25 years. In 2007, Mic Mac Mall decided to retire Woody due to safety concerns and extensive repairs needed to Woody’s frame. This had upset many residents that a Facebook group was setup to hopefully change the mall management’s decision.[4]

The mall is located in a suburban area south of Lake Micmac and northwest of the Micmac Parclo interchange. It hosts a Halifax Transit bus terminal.

The Mic Mac Terminal is served by the following routes:

  • 10 (Dalhousie/Westphal)
  • 54 (Montebello/Alderney)
  • 55 (Port Wallace/Bridge Terminal)
  • 56 (Dartmouth Crossing/Bridge Terminal)
  • 66 (Penhorn/Cobequid)
  • 72 (Portland Hills via Woodlawn/Dartmouth Crossing via Wright Ave
