Leadership Runs in the Family!

President of the Broadway Burlingame Business Improvement District John Kevranian, who co-owns Nuts for Candy on Broadway with his wife Nora, was featured in local news outlets this summer for his success in encouraging the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors to waive over $5 million in County permit fees for over 5,400 small businesses struggling with post-pandemic recovery.

Recently, John and Nora's 17-year-old son Krikor Kevranian ("Koko") made his debut on Good Morning America for his work on Buddies Without Borders, a club he started at school in order to connect and tutor refugees from around the world! Way to go Koko!
