EDINA, Minn. -- A popular lemonade stand is shutting down after seven years.
"I learned that hard work brings rewards," said Ethan Esparza.
He's been running the stand since he was eight years old, and was turning heads even back then by dressing for success. He mostly wears suits.
"I think he's the most professional-looking lemonade salesman I've ever seen," said Mary Looney.
Ethan works the yard in front of his grandmother's house every Tuesday and Saturday.
"One day I started wearing the suit and then I got a lot of money one day. I thought, 'Maybe I should wear a suit every day.' But then I thought, 'Let me just mix it up, wear shorts and a tee shirt' and I did that. $5 dollars in one day instead of going to $30 wearing a suit," Ethan said.
Dressing the part has paid off.
"I made about, in seven years, over $4,000," said Ethan. "I made a lot of friends too, and I made some good cash to give to some charity, some for whatever I wanted, baseball cards, comic books, video games."
Ethan has to close his stand because his grandparents are moving.
