Cost.U.Less will officially open its new flagship store in Hagåtña on August 28, expanding its retail presence on the island while closing its location in Tamuning on August 27.

Spanning more than 50,000 square feet, the Hagåtña facility will be the retailer's largest store in Guam. The venue will feature an expanded assortment of fresh groceries, household essentials, and general merchandise. "This is an exciting milestone for Cost.U.Less and for our customers in Guam," said Kevin Proctor, president of Cost.U.Less. "Our new Hagåtña store reflects our commitment to investing in the future of the island and delivering an even better shopping experience."

The shift brings an end to a 31-year history for the Tamuning store, which has served local residents for more than three decades.

All team members from the Tamuning location will transition into positions at either the new Hagåtña flagship or the company's existing store in Dededo. "We are proud that our Tamuning team will remain part of the Cost.U.Less family," Proctor said. "Their experience, knowledge, and dedication will play an important role in the success of our new Hagåtña store and our continued service to customers throughout Guam."

Cost.U.Less is a subsidiary division of The North West Company Inc., a retail enterprise operating 227 stores across Canada, Alaska, the South Pacific, and the Caribbean. mbj
