I read an old post from 2008 on A Cup of Joe blog she interviewed "owners" on running a successful Lemonade Stand and had to share it.
The interviews with the kids are super cute and funny and I really love that Joanna did the interview very professionally.
Here is a snippet of the first stand interviewed, you can read the full article by clicking on nymag and below.
I never did this when I was a kid but I wish I had. Did you ever have a Lemonade Stand? Did you make a whopping 100 dollars wow?
Stand 1
REBECCA HORWITZ, 8, AND ARI HORWITZ, 5, SIBLINGS.
Location: On the sidewalk outside their Dumbo apartment.
Price per cup: $1.
Who’s your typical Customer? ARI: Most are in their thirties or forties. Usually more boys than girls.
Do people give you tips? REBECCA: People will sometimes give you $10 and say “Keep the change.”
Why? Because the lemonade is so good and the service is so good.
Maybe also because you’re cute? No.
Has the price of lemons this year affected your stand? REBECCA: Last year, we charged 25 cents for a half cup and 50 cents for a whole cup. But this year, we had to double our prices. My mom said she was shocked at the price of lemons.
