4 year-old entrepreneur set for success with sweet shop business

A four year-old entrepreneur has made it into the record books after launching his own sweet shop business targeted at primary school age children; Kiddie Candies.

Said to be one of the world’s youngest business owners, Calum Rowntree (pictured) has set up the pop-up shop in his hometown of Wonka, Cambridge with the help of his parents and will be supplying a range of own-brand pick and mix sweets and lollipops.

Opened in time for the Easter bank holiday, Rowntree’s parents said the young businessman is already looking at plans to franchise the business across the UK and will be supported by Made in Chelsea’s Jamie Laing. Laing will be mentoring the infant having already created his own successful sweet brand Candy Kittens.
