Waikele builder plans
Guam factory outlet

Richard Gushman, developer and owner of Waikele Center, has signed a deal to build a 30-store factory outlet center in Guam.

The 130,000-square-foot center to be called Guam Factory Outlet Stores will target Guam's 1.3 million annual visitors who primarily come from Asian points. Oahu's Waikele Center is popular with Hawaii's Japanese visitors and Guam's center will be hours closer in flying time from Japan.

The Guam outlet center will be on the site of the Guam Shopping Center in Tamuning, which will close by the end of September. The center is owned by Pacific International, a joint venture between Hawaii's Servco Pacific Inc. and Guam-based Camacho Corp.

Construction work on the new center is expected to begin in November with the new stores opening in June.
