Speaking on how she ended up owning the shop, Ann told ABC7 NY: “I was driving by, the store was for rent, and I called the owner and asked him, how much is the rent, and he said $85 a month in 1964.”

She added: “If I retire, I would die.”

As per reports, the store is only open five days a week, but Ann works six days a week, every week.

When quizzed on her remarkable durability, she put it down to a rigorous schedule of “self care”.

“Must get up, you must shower, you must eat, you must take care of yourself. You must exercise,” Ann said. “If you don’t like what you’re doing, then change.”

She added that she has a simple aim each day: “Make the most of that day. I’m happy working every day.”
