The Lemonade Stand (2022)

Alex is riding in the car with his mom when he sees an ad for a new toy he desperately wants to buy. When he asks his mom if he can buy the toy she tells him there is a better way to both use the money he has saved, as well as get the things he wants like this toy gun. Alex and his mom continue their conversation at home where she explains that putting his money to work for him will allow him to both retain the money he has saved as well as purchase the things he wants. Just then Alex's sister Pattie comes in, drinking lemonade, which gives Alex an idea. We next see Alex as he is gathering supplies and materials for what turns out to be a lemonade stand. We see Alex at his new stand int heir front yard as two customers approach. Alex serves them, has a brief exchange, and in return receives a tip from one of the customers. Alex's sister Pattie and her friend Becky are watching this exchange and decide they need to get involved when they see Alex is actually making some money. We next see Becky, Pattie, and Alex each taking turn running the stand and helping customers. Alex returns home with his two employees and pays them for their work. Having generated some income using his savings Alex again asks his mom if they can go buy the toy he wanted in the beginning of the film. His mom offers him three different ways he can use this newly generated income; a combination of buying the toy, investing in his business, or doing both. Alex considers these options. We now see Becky and Pattie setting up the lemonade stand again. While Pattie is stacking some cups on the stand we see Alex behind her as he shoots the stack of cups with his new toy gun, the same toy from the ad he saw at the start of the film. Additionally, the camera pans up to reveal that he has also open-end a second lemonade stand indicating he went with the option of purchasing the toy and investing back into his business.
