While most lemonade stands are just fleeting fun for school kids, some turn into true business ventures.

In 2013, Anthony Roberson was 7 years old and wanting a new Nintendo DS video game to play while on vacation. Anthony’s parents told him they would ante up for half if he earned the rest.

Anthony and a couple of his pals decided to make moolah by selling (what else?) lemonade.
