INC Magazine Names Local Lemonade Stand # 1
Congratulations to Hunter and Gunnar Greer of LemonSharks Lemonade at Ocean Isle Beach. They won the Grand prize from INC. Magazine’s Young Entrepreneur Best Lemonade Stand in America contest.
Two industrious Ocean Isle Beach young people were to come up with a business plan as a year end project for school. They decided upon a Lemonade stand. Using the knowledge gained during the school year, they wrote up a business plan and implemented it. In addition, they decided to give 20% of their profits to the Museum of Coastal Carolina's education program called Megabites.
Over the course of the summer, they made $956 from selling lemonade at their stand located in front of Coastal Creations at the corner of Frink St. and Beach Drive heading toward Sunset Beach, about a mile from the traffic light in Ocean Isle.
You heard about their endeavors in a previous blog on this website. The boys stated that the experience taught them "the value of a dollar" and to treat customers well. For their efforts, they won $1,000 favings bond and a Nintendo DS. They gave $192 to the Museum of Coastal Carolina.
