HOW TO START A LEMONADE STAND National Lemonade Day is Tuesday, August 20! If your budding entrepreneur is feeling inspired by Leroy’s story to start their own lemonade stand for this year’s Lemonade Day, here’s everything they’ll need to get started. Lemonade Day Checklist ✓ Leroy’s LipSmack’n Lemonade 5-gallon kit or 10+ gallon kit ✓ Ice ✓ Table and chair ✓ Tent (optional) ✓ Portable fan (optional) ✓ 2 Ice chests (use one for storing the lemonade to always keep it cold when not being used and use the other to hold ice for the cups) ✓ Scooper ✓ Cups ✓ Straws (optional) ✓ Hand sanitizer ✓ Plastic spray bottle filled with water for wiping spills ✓ Paper towel and a hand towel ✓ Price sign ✓ Tip jar ✓ Change (ex: $1 bills and quarters)
has been exciting, the goal has remained the same: make this experience enjoyable for Leroy. The Haywards encourage families, especially their young entrepreneurs, to participate in Lemonade Day. “It’s an awesome experience, because it truly teaches a child the concept of: I have something that I can sell, that I can make some money, and I’ll have some money for me, and I’ll have some money to give to help somebody else. I think it builds character also, because it teaches that child that giving is good. It’s well mannered. Somebody is coming to you, they get something from you, they say thank you, and you say you’re welcome. So I think it’s an awesome idea. It’s a great start, and it’s really simple and elementary, but the concepts are all there for starting a business.” Sherilyn explains. If you’re looking to try Leroy’s LipSmack’n Lemonade, pick up a gallon–or more–at local stores, including Alexander’s Markets, Matherne’s Market, Calandro’s Supermarket, and Tony’s Seafood, and in various locations around LSU.
