Today was our first official Unicorn Lemonade stand—and it was even funner than I expected!
We set up our sparkly pop-up shop in front of Tractor Supply in Plainwell. The weather started off chilly and cloudy, but it warmed up a little near the end of the day. We invited some friends, and that made it extra special.
We sold 33 lemonades, and several people were so kind and gave us tips - including one person who gave us a $100 tip! We were SO grateful, we said “thank you” about five times in a row. 💖
When it got a little slow, we played, laughed, and my mom even chased me around the parking lot and made me giggle. We also cleaned up the stand and added our new Unicorn Lemonade logo stickers to all the cups, so everything looked extra professional.
And then... the craziest thing happened.
A man found out I was saving for a boat, and he told us his friend gave him a free boat - but he didn’t want it - so he offered it to us!
It needs some work, but now we’re thinking maybe we’ll use the money from the lemonade stand to fix it up. We’re going to think about it for a few days and maybe even go visit the boat soon.
The team at Tractor Supply were like sparkly lemonade angels - they helped carry our table and chairs, set things up, and told people about our stand while they were checking out.
The drink itself and the glitter swirl presentation was a big hit!
Our table with a pink dollar store tablecloth was the perfect size
We used a shopping cart to hold the ice - great height and super smart
Free cookies helped draw people in (and made everyone happy!) 🍪
Having a logo on the cups with the website helped build connections
Give ourselves more time to set up - we felt rushed today
Make a checklist so nothing gets forgotten
Laminate our signs so they last longer
Include gluten or sugar free cookies next time 🍪
Invest in an easy sandwich board sign - ours was kinda janky today 😅
We made a total of $445.71, including the incredible $100 tip!
Each lemonade sold for $4, and we sold 33 total.
We also received some extra tips we didn’t even count yet.
This was a day full of learning, laughing, lemonade, and a little bit of unicorn magic. ✨🦄
Thank you to everyone who came out - we can’t wait to swirl up some more smiles next time!
Stay sparkly,
Savannah 💖🦄🍋
