Felix was a true entrepreneur, he fulfilled his vision to establish his own convenience store business by first opening Bayview Grocery in June 1981 in the heart of Witless Bay and later moving and expanding to a bigger building on the Southern Shore highway.  He absolutely loved every day spent behind the counter.  Customer service was really his niche and trademark, which was daily provided with the help of his friendly, hardworking and valued employees.
