Belfast boy kicks off "wee business" outside Féile an Phobail with just £4
We'll be seeing young Leo on The Apprentice some time soon 💰
Last updated 17th Aug 2021
30,000 people visited this year's record-breaking Féile an Phobail event, across three jam-packed weekends in Belfast.
It was the first large outdoor festival to take place after the easing of restrictions by the Executive.
And one smart Belfast boy was quick to 'cash in' on the event's thirsty visitors nearby.
11 year-old Leo Corry invested £4 of his own pocket money into his very own tuck shop business.
Setting up outside the gates of Belfast City Cemetery, he sold cups of juice, lollies, sweeties and crisps to passersby on their way to the event.
On the first night he came home with a colossal £200, and after a quick restock ahead of Sunday's The Wolfe Tonnes's gig, Leo made himself £680 in total just one weekend!
The big question though...what on earth is he going to spend his hard-earned cash on?
After such a successful weekend, Leo's head for business is in overdrive thinking of other ventures he can invest his money in. He plans on sharing some of the money with some local charities too.
Just goes to prove where there's a will...there's a way. Great job Leo, you're a Cool Saturday Star!
