The Metro Mall is a shopping mall in Middle Village, Queens, New York. It is located on Metropolitan Avenue, adjacent to the Metropolitan Avenue subway station. The mall contains BJ's Wholesale Club, Toys R Us, K-Mart, Petland Discounts, Burger King, Funtopia USA (Formerly Ooba Dooba Funhouse), Levitz, Conway, etc. Toys R Us and K-Mart are located on the ground floor. BJ's Wholesale Club, Petland Discount, Burger King, Funtopia USA (Formerly Ooba Dooba Funhouse), Levitz, Conway, and the other stores are located below ground level.
Initially, the building was occupied by Robert Hall Department Store, Times Square Stores (TSS) and Waldbaum's supermarket on the ground floor and Macy's Wholesale Outlet on the lower level. After TSS went out of business, their space became occupied by Caldor. After the lower level converted to Metro Mall, Waldbuam's moved downstairs, their space reoccupied by Toys R Us. Eventually Caldor went out of business and K-Mart moved in.
Additionally, Queens' famed Rosa's Pizza, a cornerstone of Middle Village dining, once had a location on the lower level.
