Best friends, 12, turned a profit at Grand National with Primark shoe trick

Two 12-year-old boys ended up making a quick profit during the Grand National thanks to a Primark trick. Best friends Cole Fletcher and Ethan Dutton went to Primark and bought 120 pairs of flip-flops.

The entrepreneurial pair then sold them outside Aintree during the Grand National, turning a profit with women who had been wearing heels for the event. They posted on social media to advertise their business.
