A stylish poster of English boxer, Anthony Joshua, hangs above a display of products as you walk in.

Either side of shop, a host of products ranging from a vitality range to sports nutrition are stacked from floor to ceiling.

MCS Nutrition in Chapel Mews, Crewe Road Alsager recently opened and its owner, Josua Mancell Chesters, is aiming for bigger things.

This is his first shop but the enterprising teenager has his sights set on launching a franchise and selling his products in sports clubs.

Busy building his own website which will include click and collect, Josua, who was born in Spain, also plans to launch a delivery service.

This all sounds normal for a business in the making but the amazing part is the new business owner is just sixteen-years-old.

"I've always been mature for my age," says Josua who used to box himself but now plays rugby and whose unusual spelling of his name goes back to his birthplace - Spain.

"I have worked with my dad and watched him in business and knew this was what I always wanted to do.

"The local community has been so welcoming to the new business. We have had some lovely comments."

Josua, who lives in Alsagers Bank, has travelled all over the world with his parents and speaks Spanish.

"I used to box when I was younger but don't any more but Anthony Joshua is one of my heroes," said Josua who knows his products inside out.

"I don't want people to think we just stock things for people who exercise. We stock a range of products and anyone is welcome to come in.

"We're about health and well-being. I do try the products myself, so I know what they are like and what they contain."

Josua has watched his father, Shane Chesters, over the years and picked up some of his love for the business from him.

"We gave Josua a choice of things to do when he finished his exams and he said he wanted to start a business," said Shane.

"We're so proud of him. We help him all we can but he's doing much of it himself."

MCS Nutrition has a Facebook page and can also be found on Instagram – MCS_Nutrition22.
