Hosting a lemonade stand at your business:
Date for this year: Saturday, June 13th
How it works:
· After giving us your contact information and permission, we will put your business name, location, and contact information on our Lemonade Day! Kenai and Soldotna online application under a collaborative list of potential stand locations that are divided up by location in the following communities: Kenai, Soldotna, Nikiski, Sterling, and Kasilof.
· When a youth decides your location is the perfect spot for his/her lemonade stand or their youth group’s stand, he/she will contact you directly to negotiate (location, hours of stand operation, etc.). Finding a stand location is an important part of the Lemonade Day! entrepreneurship lesson. For this reason, we make your information available to all Lemonade Day! Kenai and Soldotna participants, but then step back and let the kids take the reins.
· Once a youth has informed us that his/her stand will be at your business, we put a strike-through across your information on our ongoing stand list. At that point, any necessary correspondence will take place directly between your business and the youth, as well as, the youth’s caring adult.
· The day before Lemonade Day! Kenai and Soldotna we will publish an ad in the Peninsula Clarion and on our social media where the Stand Locations will be. That means your business will get a little more publicity as well!
Your host responsibilities:
· Make sure you own the land on which the stand will sit. If not, you’ll need to secure permission from the property owner for the stand to be allowed. Support the young entrepreneur by hanging a poster they make in your business & posting about their business on your social media. When a student registers for Lemonade Day! Kenai and Soldotna, we receive permission to use their first names, photo, and voice for the sole purpose of advertising their stand and the program. Of course, we encourage you to be your young entrepreneur’s first customer on the big day, too!
