One Man Has Waged a Two-Year Battle to Shut Down This Kid’s Lemonade Stand
One man in Dunedin, Florida, has been petitioning local authorities to shut down 13-year-old T.J. Guerrero’s lemonade stand for two years, the Tampa Bay Times reported.
“Please help me regain my quiet home and neighborhood,” the 61-year-old Wilkey wrote in one of four emails he sent to city hall over the past two years.
“The city could possibly face repercussion in the event someone became ill from spoiled/contaminated food or drink sales,” Wilkey wrote in another email.
Besides concerns about noise and food safety, Wilkey said the year-round presence of a lemonade stand — not a surprising phenomenon, given the Florida warmth — could drive down his property value.
