FEATURED: 00:00 Hi everyone! 00:47 Telecom providers 01:38 Gas stations 02:14 Grocery stores 05:05 Home needs 05:33 Transportation 06:29 Pet needs 07:33 Shopping 0:47 Telecom - There are three main telecom providers--IT&E, GTA, and Docomo. Only GTA and Docomo provide internet service along with bundle plans. 1:38 Gas stations - The main gas stations on Guam are Mobil, 76 Circle K, and Shell. However, if you have military base access, that would be where you get the cheapest gas prices! 2:14 Groceries - The most frequent franchise you'll find around the island is with the Payless Supermarkets and Cost-U-Less stores. Both carry fresh produce, meats, dairy, frozen foods, and more, but Cost-U-Less also provides a lot of items in bulk. For military families, there are two Commissaries available, one in Yigo at the Andersen Air Force Base and the other in Santa Rita at the Naval Base. Other stores to explore are American Grocery, California Mart, Korean Grocery Store, Happy Mart, Simply Food, San Jose Supermarket, Day Buy Day, Agat Kimchee Store, Toves Piti Mart, and 7 Day Supermarket. 5:05 Home needs - You can find a lot of stores for home equipment, appliances, and hardware such as Home Depot (Tamuning near the airport), The Home Mart (Yigo), Kmart (upper Tumon), and Benson (Maite). 5:33 Transportation - Guam doesn't have a train or subway system, but it does have a public transport bus line called the Guam Regional Transport Authority (GRTA). You can visit grate.guam.gov for daily routes and stops to plan your trips. There are taxi services, but they can be a bit pricier since they are usually catered to tourists. There is also Stroll Guam, which is the Uber-equivalent, so you can download the app to see ride availability. 6:29 Pets - The two main animal clinics are Isla Vet Clinic (Asan) and Wise Owl Animal Hospital (Tamuning). For pet equipment, some stores you can find toys, food, leashes, etc. include Fetch, Little Wangz, Feathers and Fins, and others. *I haven't personally explored many of the equipment stores, but these are some recommendations I've heard from other pet owners. 7:33 Shopping - Depending on your personality, you can find many different shopping areas on Guam. Some of my favorite places for clothes shopping are smaller stores and boutiques like Threads, Blush, and Jeans Warehouse. If you like malls and outlets, then you can explore the Micronesia Mall, Guam Premier Outlets, Agana Shopping Center, Dededo Mall, and Compadres Mall. For high-end shopping or more expensive brands, most of the shops in Tumon would be best to check out. #visitguam #exploringguam #guamlife #travelguam
