John's Mobile Lemonade Stand

John had the great idea to put wheels on a lemonade stand he asked me to build. I said Sham Wow! What a great idea! He plans on pushing it around the block and parking it in front of the local playground/park where he will also cross sell candy! He did a lot of work; painted the whole thing, pounded in a lot of nails, and I let him make some cuts on the chop saw. Wonderful father-son project, I'm so proud of him.

hot tips...buy a bike bell (ka jing sounding one) and mount it to get attention. or a programmable sound machine that provides standards, like ta ra ra boom de ay etc (like the ice cream trucks).

Thanks for your comments! It's working great and the diet lemonade and iced tea idea is something I will use. I have a bike horn that gets attention.

superb! the mobility aspect works in your favor!! Have a subway stop close? roll it to the stop during rush hour!!! Use conventional plastic drinking glasses so you can wash and reuse them. Offer sugar free options. and if possible use a battery operated or plug in refrig. to keep it all cold. Ice is too precious and too temporary to use for a long time. ALSO charge what its worth. a hot day? its 75 cents a glass (45 for a refill); not hot? 45 cents(25 cents a refill).
