In 2012, it started with a table, a pitcher, and a mission , 🍋 now Leroy's Lip Smack'n Lemonade (leroyslemonade) is on shelves across our region. This National Lemonade Day, we’re celebrating what’s possible when the our community supports young entrepreneurs, inclusion, and giving back! Leroy's isn't just serving up tasty lemonade, their building a legacy of empowerment and representation while showing special needs children that there are no limits in life!

From winning 1st place at a tasting contest in 2014 to bottling their signature flavor for shelves at Rouses Markets (rousesmarkets), Calandro's Supermarket (calandrosmkt), and even LSU games, this family-run, Black-owned business proves what can happen when you mix passion, purpose, and Baton Rouge Area pride.

As Leroy’s mom Sherilyn said in an interview with WAFB (wafb): “Oh my god. I can’t even describe how we feel about what this business has done. It’s inspirational to other parents that have a child that has autism that they can be an entrepreneur. They can be whatever they set their minds to be as well. They can’t get left behind.”

📍 Find Leroy’s Lemonade throughout our region
