In an inspiring story of business energy, an 11-year-old boy from Utah showed that even the most unusual businesses can do well with a little hard work. To sell lemonade, Seth, the young businessman, set up a stand with a sign that said “Ice Cold Beer.” That being said, this wasn’t just any sign.
People walking by stopped to take a better look and saw that the word “Root” was written in small green letters. This showed that root beer was actually being sold. Some neighbors were worried and confused because the word “root” wasn’t easy to see from far away because it was placed in a smart way. Because they were scared, they called the cops, who came to the scene to look into it.
But instead of telling Seth off, the cops were pleased by how well he was selling his business. The Bigham City Police Department praised Seth’s creativity on Facebook, and the post went viral very quickly. People who commented were quick to praise Seth’s business sense. One person even said that he was “destined to be a great marketing expert.” Somebody else said that Seth was “sharp, neat, and diligent,” and that he thought he could do anything.
The cops also used the chance to tell people that they should never be embarrassed or ashamed to report things that seem fishy. The neighbors had a good reason to call the police because they really thought something was wrong. As a thank-you, the police officers even tried some of Seth’s root beer and liked how cool it was on a hot day in Utah. Not only did Seth’s clever sign bring in people, it also won over the hearts of the cops in the area.
