Credit Card Economics: A de
vice to catch your interest.
Marg and Paul Brunkard, along
with their sons, Greg, 17, and
Geoff, 15, are thenewowners of
the Hillcrest Restaurant and Gas
Bar in Londesborough, re-opening
for business Last Thursday, after a
one-week closure while the busi
ness was transferred from former
owners Jean and Jerry Reid, who
have moved to Varna.
The Brunkards are enthusiastic
about their new business, and
about the people they have met
since arriving in the village August
25. “Peopleherehavebeenjust
super; everyone has been so very
kind and helpful while we are
getting started,” said Mrs. Brunk
ard. “And the Reids were just
great - they stayed with us for the
first couple of days and showed us
how to do everything; we certainly
could not have managed without
them!”
It was a whirlwind decision to
buy the restaurant, and a whole
new way of life is now beginning for
the family from Fergus. Both
Brunkards worked in high-pres
sure situations in Guelph, com-
muting 32 miles each day, while
Greg worked at a local garage and
Geoff was a camp counsellor-in
training for the past few years.
According to Mrs. Brunkard, the
family had been “sort of looking”
for a business of their own in a rural
area for the past 10 years, and came
right up when they saw the
Hillcrest advertised in the Kit
chener paper only six weeks ago.
“As soon as we drove into
Londesborough that day, we felt
‘this is it’, and we have not
regretted it for a moment, although
we are all pretty green at the
restaurant business, and have to
learn as we go along,” explained
Mrs. Brunkard. The family lives in
the apartment over the restaurant.
The boys were not quite as
enthusiastic about the move at first
as were their parents, having to
leave behind friends, jobs and
schools, according to Geoff, but he
adds that “Things are looking up”
now that they have got into the
swing of the business. Greg, with
his mechanical aptitude and gar
age experience will run the gas bar,
while Geoff helps his father with
the restaurant. Mother Marg does
