  • I was at the strawberry festival and walked the place 2 times. I noticed that all other lemonade vendors were dead... as in not one person in line.
    Not Ken though! He was slammed, 2 lines and 12 deep - the
    entire time.
    Why would one vendor (the most expensive one) do better than the rest?

    Hey Ben! Addicted to your videos, always informative! “Ben” watching you for years!
    My wife and I are finally getting ever so close to starting our lemonade/cotton candy business in the western mountains of Virginia. We don’t have Internet service here, and it’s kind of like the birthday card I once gave her that said, “Give me a home where there is no cell phone” well, that’s pretty much what happened, and it’s keeping us out of VU, “for now”!
    While watching this video, there was one moment that made me hit the rewind button.
    And that was, starting a lemonade business for under $300 and making a ton of money!
    I ended up on this video today after searching “Nimco” lemonade squeezers.
    $500.00! I know that the answer to this is that probably a big hammer might be a cheaper way to smash your lemons, or maybe grandma‘s biscuit roller! 😂
    It seems that Ken is making a ton of money, and the other vendors that didn’t have the smisher smasher, and clear cups, wasn’t quite making the ton! Maybe I’ll rig up a air compressor with a foot valve that I can hit every time I “manually” squeeze a lemon… or, if I’m not squeezing lemons, just press the pedal a few quick times, you know, just to bring the people in! 🤪
    Anyways… Ken Packer is my guru, along with many others that I see in VU, including yourself! Kens videos are very informative, (except the time he wouldn’t revel how to dissolve the sugar), instead he said to watch the video, I think I got it 😉 Also, it’s interesting to see that he has switched to the simple syrup! Good to know!
    Keep up the good work Ben! My wife and I love the videos you put out and have helped us on our way from being a “wannabe retired truck driver”, to a testament for you and all you have done for people just like us! 👍

      Just so you know, simple syrup is dissolved sugar mixed in an equal part water.

    Ben has great content and explains things well if you LISTEN. Scrub back and take notes if you think you missed something or didn't quite understand. Most of the questions in these comments are either answered or can be easily by using your google fingers. Do some research people! If you don't figure some things out on your own, you won't learn and will set yourself up for failure. How do you cut a hole in a table, where can I get restaurant supplies, how do I know what county permits are required (call or walk in and ask maybe?)... come on! This isn't rocket surgery.

    I do not want to join vendors United unless I can actually get something going where I am. Then I will join but until then I have a few questions. My city say for a Lemonade setup that if you are doing events that you can have a tent but you have to get a permit for each event, and farmers markets do not count as an event because they are reoccurring. If you want todo reoccurring events you must have a trailer with a 3 sink fresh water and wastewater tank and you must have a contract where to dump your waste water. Can you help me navigate this please???
