“On behalf of the Saipan Chamber of Commerce, I congratulate McDonald’s of Saipan on their 28th anniversary. We are all grateful for the Ayuyu family’s many contributions to our community. They have employed hundreds of our local residents over the past 28 years and continue to train many of our young adults on good work ethics, food preparation processes, and great customer service. Biba McDonald’s!”

Sword
“The Ayuyu family is deeply rooted in this community. To start McDonald’s, they actually mortgaged their house and from there, it has grown to what it is today after 28 years. They had a dream, a goal, believed in it, and acted on it, which should be a template for other entrepreneurs to do and follow. Look at how you can get into business and how make it work. Congratulations to McDonald’s and to the Ayuyu family”
—Gary Sword, member, Governor’s Council of Economic Advisers
