Victoria “Tori” Klasky, Felicia Busby, and Cayla Switzer are the owners of White Pelican. Born and raised on the coast,
they all love their community and enjoy searching for the next thing that their customers will love.
Klasky found a love for retail after high school. The revitalization of Pascagoula’s downtown area opened the door for her decade-long dream. As fate would have it, Busby and Switzer were looking to be involved in the excitement of the flagship
district as well. They joined forces. They knew they would work well together because Klasky worked at Busby’s dance studio for 11 years, and Switzer is Busby’s daughter.
Full time, Switzer is a nurse practitioner, but spends her extra time at White Pelican. She has never met a stranger
and is a great conversation starter. Busby recently retired and loves to travel and spend time with her family. Before retiring, she made the lives of countless dancers
better by giving them the confidence to choose a better path in life. According to Busby and Switzer, Klasky has the greatest legs in the history of the world. Klasky is always trying to improve herself and her curiosity of her interests, be it fashion, interiors, music, or who knows what’s next!
