Meet Philly’s “Lemonade King,” a 10-year-old entrepreneur

• Micah Idris is a 10-year-old entrepreneur who sells lemonades and iced tea.
• He was only eight when he launched his business, but in 2020, he hit it big!
• Micah now owns a mobile lemonade business, selling over 1,500 bottles and still counting!

More and more youngsters are turning into entrepreneurs through their own, unique ways. Start them young, as they say, like this 10-year-old boy from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, who ventured into his very own lemonade business.

Micah Idris was only about eight when he started his business. Two years later, his small business totally boomed, where he sold over 1,500 bottles of lemonade and iced tea!

Micah offers fresh squeezed lemonade and fresh brewed iced tea with a twist. He calls it “Micah’s MIXX,” as his products come in over a dozen different exciting flavors.

When Micah’s drinks became a big hit around his neighborhood, his mother Danielle thought of looking for a truck to help Micah become more mobile.

Danielle created an online fundraising program to help Micah set up and expand his business. Soon, they were able to raise about $4,000 and purchased a second-hand school bus.

However, Micah and Danielle needed resources for renovations for the bus to convert it into a food truck. Armed with determination and faith in their community, Micah is on the verge of making his dream a reality.

Danielle as a mom, couldn’t be any prouder of his son. At such a young age, he has accomplished this much — earning and serving his community at the same time.

“I feel like I needed to come on to express the gratitude for something that a 10-year-old doesn’t quite understand the magnitude of,” she wrote on his Instagram. “At a time when the world feels so separated, people came together to make my baby’s dreams come true,” Danielle said.

Danielle also shared that apart from selling lemonades, Micah gives away free bottles to homeless people he meets along the way.

“Micah is the most genuine person I know,” she continued. “He loves animals, wants to do everything for the homeless, loves to cuddle, and tells the corniest jokes. He deserves everything good that’s coming to him.”
