Joey and Kelsey know that their fame won't last forever, which is why they've talked about starting a business together, something that will allow them to earn a stable income someday. Despite those early money problems, Joey and Kelsey are far more savvy about business opportunities than their critics give them credit for. Attending the Wawa store opening was made possible because of their fame and social media acumen; it's also a smart move on Wawa's part because Joey and Kelsey's appearance will bring even more attention to their new location.
