Expand my business "Wendynash business venture"

I intend to use this loan to acquire a small snack bar such as selling of pastries and soft drinks like Fanta, Coca Cola, Sprite, Mirinda and etc and besides my airtime business too. The snack bar business is fetching me more customers because when a customers wants to buy a drink to enjoy eventually buys some airtime for calls another strategy of misery buyers.
I think the last business investment had increase to about 60 %, from the beginning of the business some of the cards about 40% on credit for a week. The interest was channeled into Soft drinks and pastries(Small snack Joint). There is a primary school few meters and they really patronize the small snack Joint. My family now also enjoy helping me to market/ advertise my snacks. we all enjoy working together on Sundays after Church Service.
This past Easter Holiday was fun, all the small drinking and events grounds around my area was fully packed with holiday wishers, Including the beaches, the road was very busy with vehicles and people.
