"I did lemonade day because since I was six years old, business has been a part of who I am. Two years ago I started a lemon cookie business, and as it hit off it took over my stand. I went from 120 dozen the first year to over 250 the next. So, instead of doing lemonade day next year, I have chosen to give it to my favorite little business girl - Addison, and am going to pursue my cookie business."

"The biggest thing that I’ve learned is to have fun! This is my day to shine. The customers have come to my lemonade stand and I want to make sure that I introduce myself to each and every one. I thank them for their support and even send thank you cards."

Lemonade Day let me be the Entrepreneur I wanted to be. Creating ideas, running business, earning money all of this I could experience through Lemonade Day. I am extremely happy about the success of 2019's Lemonade Day sales and profit. Very glad about having the profits to spend, save and SHARE. Me and my brother are discussing if we can continue our lemonade stands throughout summer in farmers markets and other locations. Also as an entrepreneur I am thinking about how to develop leadership skills in every project I do. Read More

This is the second year that 12-year old Ja’Qub Anthony and his 9-year old brother, Jaden, have participated in Lemonade Day with the support of their parents. They had so much fun in 2019 that not only did they register for Lemonade Day 2020, but they also formed an LLC and created a web site to sell their lemonade and other products online. The brothers also wrote a book called “The Boys Who Never Gave Up.” What is the boys’ advice to other kids? “Follow your dreams and never give up.”

As a four-year veteran of Lemonade Day, 12-year-old Kaydence Roberts has taken her Lemonade Day lessons and developed a very successful lemonade stand model. “To all the other kids who do Lemonade Day or are planning to, don't ever give up,” said Kaydence. “You might not make much the first year or second year.  But each year you learn something new that will make you more successful the next time and that is what being an entrepreneur of your own business is all about.”
