Get your little budding entrepreneur ready because this is what you need for the best lemonade stand in DFW this summer and all year long! Lemonade stands are a classic in the South during the summer. If I ever see one in my neighborhood I have to stop every time. Those sweet lil’ entrepreneurs make some of the best lemonade and for only one dollar you can’t resist their sweet faces!
Can I Set Up a Lemonade Stand in My Texas Neighborhood Legally?
If a lemonade stand is legal where you live may be a question you’re asking, and thanks to a new law signed in Texas kids can now enjoy the fruits of their labor without the fear of getting shut down.
Gov. Greg Abbott posted a video Monday on Twitter of him signing a law that allows kids under 18 to run lemonade stands without a permit. The law goes into effect September 1, 2019, but I can’t imagine anyone is going to be going after kids before then.
Take that Permit Patty!
It’s now legal for kids to sell lemonade at stands.
We had to pass a law because police shut down a kid’s lemonade stand.
