A six-year-old British girl, Mollie Price, is opening
up her third candy store. She is said to be one of Britain’s youngest bosses.
Her stores are called “Mollie’s.” She sells both British and American candy.
The girl would like to open more candy stores. “It might sound crazy, but
believe me,” Mollie says.
“It was Mollie’s idea to open up the shop. It is
Mollie who runs the candy stores,” her mother Becky, her “business partner”
says.
Her mother says all the stores are put together and
stocked(进货)by Mollie. Mollie works in one of the
stores every Saturday, then gets up early Sunday to go to the company’s product
supplier(供应商). She asks her friends to test the sweets
to decide which ones are good. She’s good at smart marketing. For example, if
the weather is really cold, she sells the Mr Whippy ice cream cheaper than when
it’s hot outside.
“Children have the best ideas. I tell my mum what I
think and she always says I have good ideas. It’s just because I know what
other children like,” Mollie says.
