Write on a small business that is doing well in your community

Wellington Quammie's Family Bakery, Grocery and Retail. Mr Wellington Quammie started off his business by opening a small shop fifteen (15) years ago. In his first few years, he started off by selling basic items such as flour and rice. He had stiff competition from neighboring shops: Howell and Sons and Bailey. However, after a couple years of running, both of Mr Quammie's rivals died and so did their businesses, leaving Mr Quammie's business to get all the attention in the village at the time.This caused the business to expand both physically and economically. Mr Quammie has employed many villagers over the years. Even I had a summer job there to stack boxes when I was younger. Mr Quammie went through great loss in the Easter of 2011 and the Christmas of 2013 where there were devastating floods, both of which caused about 90% damage to Mr Quammie's shop and property. Despite all of that damage, Mr Quammie's business rebounded, he partnered with his daughter's bakery and assigned his son as manager. Today the shop sells cosmetics, groceries, bread, pastries, hardware, and vehicle supplies. The business now employs over ten (10) persons and is the most popular shop in the community.
