My little brother(he's 12) opens a candy shop every year around this time. What he does is goes to walmart and buys all our families favorite candy bars for 50 cents and then re sells them to us for ridiculously high prices. Like 2$... A gotta admit, he knows how to make money, here's a pic lol

He needs to build up hype for a few months then for about 2-3 weeks only sell to one of the family members and make the rest of you wait. Then by the time everyone has acess you won't care about price or quality

oh wow lucky!
and hes actually pretty smart! A lot of people dont bother bout making money at a young age cuz they get allowance or money for chores. At least hes getting into making money! If you teach him better marketing techniques like not overpricing, you might really help him get a start ahead of other people his age to have money smarts.
