"The community have been fantastic in supporting the boys. We live in a cul-de-sac, and it has brought a lot of footfall up to us!" she said.
"It's something to keep them busy during the summer holidays!".
Bradley explained that the idea to team up as business partners was formed in school.
"We were talking about it in school and decided it would be a fun idea, and we could make some money," he said.
"We sell all kinds of things and there have been lots of people coming, it has been really good," Bradley shared.
The impressive shop stand was built with the help of their parents, and has wheels for easier navigation. The boys have also paid particular attention to detail, with an adorable business uniform including name tags and matching shirts.
There has been an outpour of support from Mountmellick locals on social media.

Business hours may vary, as the shop operates based on when the owners are playing outside.
