Step 1: Choose a Location

The first step is to choose a good location for your lemonade stand. You want to find a place that is visible, has a lot of foot traffic, and is safe. Here are a few things to consider when choosing a location:

• Visibility: Your lemonade stand should be easy to see from the street or sidewalk. You want people to be able to spot you from a distance.
• Foot traffic: The more people who walk past your stand, the more potential customers you have. Look for a location that is near a park, school, or other popular destination.
• Safety: You want to make sure your lemonade stand is in a safe location. Avoid setting up near busy roads or in areas with a lot of crime.
