The Story Behind the Stand

Freshly squeezed joy, one cup at a time.

The Littlest Lemonade Stand was born from sticky fingers, big dreams, and the belief that small hands can do great things. What started as a simple Spring Break project with Poppa and a fun way to teach our daughter about money, responsibility, and kindness has blossomed into a sweet little brand with a mission to serve—with heart, with hustle, and with a whole lot of lemonade.

Run by our six-year-old daughter (with help from her entrepreneurial parents), Littlest Lemonade pops up at markets, events, and in neighborhoods across the DC area—offering sunshine in a cup, charming customer service, and delightful blue-and-white striped style.

Whether we’re serving free lemonade to neighbors on a rainy day or bringing smiles to a birthday party, we believe that good business starts young—and that joy and generosity should always be part of the recipe.

At Littlest Lemonade, we’re learning as we grow—how to make change, how to greet customers with a smile, how to choose the best donut, and how to show up with integrity in every interaction. This is about more than lemonade. It’s about building character, confidence, and community—one cheerful pop-up at a time.

Thanks for being part of our story. We’re so glad you’re here.
