A long-standing business in The Pas is under new ownership. The new owner is Leo Ho and his family has ties to the Swan Valley area, where his grandfather ran a restaurant. His entrepreneurial spirit derives from the work ethic his family instilled in him.
“My parents worked in the Quon’s Inn in Minnedosa, about 35 years ago,” said Ho. “They always worked six days a week and 10 to 12 hours per day. Therefore, when I was a teenager and I learned that everything you wish for or success in this world is through hard work and there is no luck.”
While in university, Ho opened Prairie Pantry, a roadside restaurant, which gave him firsthand experience in running his own business.
