Popular lemonade brand CountryTime said Thursday that it is "taking a stand for lemonade stands" and pledging to help kids cover the costs of city permits when young entrepreneurs get their lemonade stands shut down.

“Around the country, kids across the country are getting busted for lemonade stands,” the company said in a video posted to its official Twitter account Thursday.

The brand is launching a new fund called Legal-Ade, “a crack team ready to straighten out lemonade stands permits and fines.”

A Crank Called Colorado Police To Shut Down Kids’ Lemonade Stand, And It Worked



That’s why Jennifer Knowles, a Denver mom of three boys, thought it was a good idea to have her boys run a lemonade stand in their Stapleton, Colorado, neighborhood this past Memorial Day. She hoped to teach her boys lessons she learned when she had her own lemonade stand as a little girl — entrepreneurship, responsibility, and the value of running your own business.

Her boys decided to take it a step further: they planned to donate all proceeds from their lemonade stand to a charity organization called Compassion International. More specifically, the boys picked a little 5-year-old boy from Indonesia through Compassion International, for whom their proceeds would help provide necessities including clean water.

On Memorial Day, the weather was nice and hot. The three boys set up their lemonade stand with mom’s help. Two cups of lemonade for $1. The 6-year-old even brought his toy cash register and he got good practice in addition and subtraction. All three boys got good practice in customer service. Many people stopped by and praised the boys for doing a good job. The boys were feeling pretty good about themselves. Unfortunately, half an hour into their first business venture, police showed up.

I'm surprised we haven't seen a SWAT team show up to shut these greedy little capitalists-in-training down.

It's inconceivable to me that we've allowed our government to get so out of hand that they'd shut down a kid's lemonade stand.
