Ever wonder how businesses choose a location for their stores? Or--why certain products are featured at the end of the grocery isle? Choosing the perfect place to locate your business is a key factor in ensuring success. For a lemonade stand, some of the important questions to ask are:

• Do people pass by that location during the day of your stand's operation?

• Is there a place for people driving by to stop and buy your product?

• Can you locate outside of a busy store for that day?

• What are the peak hours that people visit this location?

• Is there a sports game happening on the day you want to sell your lemonade?

Scouting out your potential location is important--but be sure to do it on the same day of the week that you will be selling! For instance, downtown business areas are filled with people on weekdays--but may be empty on weekends! Remember--Always ask permission to put your stand in front of someone's business or private property!

Choose your location soon before someone beats you to the punch! Put your stand on the map and make your own website to start advertising today: http://sites.lemonadeday.org/
