Classic summer business. A lemonade stand is a business owned and run by children, usually during warm months. Kids mix lemonade and sell it to neighbors and passersby to earn money.

American summertime tradition. Lemonade stands have become such an iconic part of North American summer culture that they appear in movies, TV shows, and stories all the time.

More than just lemonade. While lemonade is the classic drink, many stands also sell similar beverages like iced tea, lemonade with different flavors, or soda to give customers more choices.

First business lesson. Running a lemonade stand teaches kids valuable skills like how to make a product, set prices, manage money, and interact with customers.
