A local shop owner who some call the Mayor of the Broadway business district in Burlingame has long been the go-to person when area merchants have a problem.
John Kevranian and his wife, Nora, have enjoyed success at their Burlingame shop, Nuts for Candy & Toys, for 30 years. In that time, he says he's grown sweet on the store's business district.'I love the community. I solve their problems,' Kevranian said.He has proven to be a powerful advocate for 120 businesses as President of the Broadway Burlingame Business Improvement District for the last decade.
Kurt says his restaurant and others survived the pandemic because Kevranian helped him secure government relief grants and outdoor dining space. He also got the county to waive nearly $6 million in fees for more than 5,400 businesses.'If there's a chance for Broadway mayor, he will win by far,' Kurt said. 'Everybody will vote for him. He's the one.'Kevranian is also the one students turn to. He's helped hundreds of teenagers find jobs and learn soft skills.
