25 years of Love

The wedding day is just a beginning, couples then need to continuously work at their marriage because it takes time, commitment, respect, tons of love and a host of other factors to make it work.

So, reaching 25 years of marriage is a reason to celebrate what life and love has offered.

And to celebrate they did last October 27 as family and friends paid tribute to the 25th wedding anniversary of lovely couple Jon and Connie Dela Cruz.
Love is still as sweet 25 years later

Congratulations Jon and Connie! You inspire us with your love.

Brian Matthew Apasan: The First Birthday

The little boy was all decked in blue, he was clearly the star and it was his first birthday party.


Brian Matthew Apasan had a party last September 21 as he turned 1.

The whole family was there to make sure everyone had a fun time. Daddy,mommy and big brother entertained the guests who trooped to Shirley's Coffee Shop Susupe.

And what's a birthday without the cake? The chocolate cake was topped with a single clown candle, fitting for the fun celebration and even matching the jester hat worn by the emcee, Shirley's Coffee Shop Dining-in-charge Macoi Aguda.



The Apasan family will surely treasure this day as it was spent in the company of family and friends.



Happy Birthday, Brian!

Maxine @ 6: From the Heart

It is a year not generally celebrated with big parties, but when Maxine turned 6, her papa, mama ang baby sister Kyla threw her a celebration just the same.

Friends flocked to Shirley's to be with the birthday girl for some food and a whole lot of fun.

What could be more fun than dancing to the tune of "Spaghetti"?


Maxine seemed to be thanking her guests heartfully here.


Of course,no birthday seems to be complete without the traditonal blowing of the candle on the cake.

Celebrating 16 great years!

There are a lot of things to be thankful for, now that we just turned 16!'

You're reading this right. We turned 16 years last month (May) and if we may borrow a line from the song "what a journey it truly has been".

We were granted the franchise to operate a Shirley's Coffee Shop here on Saipan in 1993. Since then, we've kept our hands busy churning dish after dish of home-cooked meals. It's not always smooth-sailing but our priority is clear: we want to give our customers the best dining experience. We continuously think of ways to improve- by offering new products, packages and service innovations. This is our way of saying thank you for your patronage.

One other way of saying a BIG THANK YOU is coming up with a specal newspaper supplement to celebrate this great milestone. We thought long and hard to come up with the theme for this year's supplement. At the end though, it boiled down to one thing- we want it to focus on you, our dear customer. Your loyalty, patronage, support and feedback made us who we are today.

In the pages of the supplement you will find the 16 milestones in our operations that we chose to represent the years that we are on business here on the island. We also feature 16 of our customers and their own reasons why Shirley's rank high on their list of favorite restaurants.

Do visit our main site or click here to read the supplement.
