No end in sight for 101yo candy store owner

A candy shop owner in the United States has found the fountain of youth – and at 101 years of age, she should know.

Almost every day since 1939, Ethel Weiss has walked down her apartment stairs and opened up the doors of her shop next door.

She still runs the shop by herself and says she doesn't want to retire in case she disappoints people.

Ms Weiss originally opened the store with her husband near the end of the Great Depression, mainly serving the children from the nearby school.

Today, she still serves some of their grandchildren, and says she can still remember some of the original customers' names.
