As another UK person, lemonade stands are a suburban thing kids run for pocket change, like you see in the movies all the time. Sounds like local officials are getting bureaucratic and shutting them down.
I think the first paragraph pretty clearly explains the problem:
Are you thinking of helping your kid setting up a lemonade stand this summer? Apparently, some young entrepreneurs are getting shut down due to a lack of small business permits.
- buro9 8y agoWhen I saw these in films I always imagined the parents had a lemon tree or were just buying lemons for their kids. I also thought it was just a cheesy plot tool rather than an actual thing, What I didn't imagine was that this involved people purchasing a powdered mix from a multinational and selling that (as seems to be the case according to other comments).
- rory096 8y agoIt doesn't necessarily — see the classic game Lemonade Stand.[0][1] But powdered lemonade is probably the most common form of (non-alcoholic) lemonade consumed in the US nowadays.

- mercutio2 8y agoFor people who live in areas where citrus will grow, picking your own lemons is the way to go, because powdered lemonade (and Country Time specifically) is disgusting. But there usually aren’t many lemons on the trees during the summer months in the US, so people opt to have their kids sell cheap, over-sweetened powdered beverage. It’s the American way!
