News - Guam

As local businesses are working to recover from the hits taken during the COVID-19 pandemic, some are finding it a challenge to hire workers to fill vacant positions.

The smell of fresh baked bread and other delicious foods are filling the air as Guam welcomes a new barcade and barista, artisan bread shop, and a fast-food joint serving up rice bowls to the island. 

The island’s small business community is seeing changes – from a new food delivery service to new ownership of a long-standing pest control company, and a new venue for the decades-old Faith Bookstore and Gifts Shop.

In the next few weeks, construction industry stakeholders in Guam will be asked to comment on new rules and regulations on the self-certification processes for building permits.
