Street-Legal Lemonade

When police are forced to close kids' lemonade stands, it tears at the heart. But kids must learn that foodservice is serious business and that laws exist to keep us all safe and healthy. This workbook helps kids K-12 discover how to run a food-safe and business-smart lemonade stand. While much of the content focuses on food safety and how to get proper operating permits, a highly visual business planning and financial literacy curriculum is also featured to help kids brainstorm and innovate to success. Business and financial tools include Recipe Making, Lemonade Stand Design, Sale Pitch Writing and Profit Estimating. Also included is a visual StoryTree(r) 1-Page Business Plan, provided courtesy of BizGym.com, the entrepreneurs growth application. With these tools, every "lemonpreneur" is now empowered to have a safe and fun lemonade stand experience. This workbook is the result of key learnings from Lemonade Alley, the kid-biz challenge where kids make recipes, build stands and sell lemonade for the charity of their choice. If your kids find that getting permits and meeting health restrictions are too much to handle, you're invited to create a Lemonade Alley event in your neighborhood. See lemonadealley.com for details.
