When Life Gives You a Lemonade Recipe …
A lemonade stand is a classic option for kids hoping to bring in some extra cash—but how about a lemonade business? That's the path 11-year-old Mikaila Ulmer pursued. Her very own lemonade company, BeeSweet Lemonade, started with her grandmother's recipe and eventually ended up on ABC's Shark Tank, where Mikaila was granted a $60,000 investment. She has also signed a contract with Whole Foods to sell her lemonade at 55 of the chain's stores.
