Anabelle Lockwood, 10, from Fountain Valley, started ‘Loco Lemon’ in June
But days later got a letter from residents’ group calling it a ‘safety hazard’
And Orange County health officials demanded she pay $3,500 for permit
A 10-year-old girl has been told she needed liability insurance and a business license costing $3,500 to run her lemonade stand.
Anabelle Lockwood, from Fountain Valley, California, started the stand on a ‘hot summer day’ in June after spending the night squeezing lemons.
She set up ‘The Loco Lemon’ in her townhouse complex on a cart her dad built for her 10th birthday and was ‘amazed’ by the response from customers.

Anabelle Lockwood, from Fountain Valley, California, started the stand on a ‘hot summer day’ in June after spending the night squeezing lemons
But days later her family got a letter from the residents’ group calling it ‘a safety hazard’ and she was forbidden to set up her stand again.
Annabelle moved around different spots and her lemonade, which comes in flavors such as watermelon and blueberry ginger, sold out every day.
Anabelle told KTLA: ‘I always wanted to have a lemonade stand. All my friends were talking about it and I thought it was a good idea.’
WHAT ANNABELLE NEEDS
1. Upgrade cart to commercial standards
2. Purchase liability insurance and a business license
3. Pay a deposit
4. Pay an hourly or monthly fee for use
But now she has been told by Orange County health officials to pay up a total of $3,500 and about $500 per year after that if she wants to continue trading.
Her family have set up a GoFundMe page to try to meet the costs.
It reads: ‘As a small business owner myself, I know that this isn’t much to start a potentially successful business.
‘But to a 10 year old, it seems like a million.

‘This isn’t just another business venture… it’s becoming a life lesson for a young ambitious entrepreneur.
‘She’s extremely passionate about her business, and we are so proud of her for creating something that so many others can enjoy!’
The criminal homosexual loving government of Cali is now shaking down 10 year old children in order to fund
the welfare of millions of (Illegal) immigrants who immediately qualify for free medical and welfare. The devil has
a home and it sits in Sacramento, California.

California’s governor needs every single coin, apparently.
