Client Profile
Bursey's Kwik-way

Bursey's Kwikway
Tammy Bursey was a former employee of a convenience store in Lower Island Cove.  When the opportunity came in January 2014 to purchase the enterprise, she knew this was her chance to become an entrepreneur.   Since she took over the shop, she has re-opened the gas bar and completed renovations to better service her customers.  In addition to the gas bar she has baked goods, pizza, sub sandwiches and all the necessities that a one stop convenience store offers.  We wish Tammy much continued success in the future.
