Who we are

The Lemonade Stand was an idea brought forth from our customers. We originally were located in Northills Mall under the name Gifts Of Art – Northills. We started our little business selling Pixies and Knomes to unique gift apparel. One of our regular customers was asking about getting in a unique pipe set and once it came in the requests just started coming! We moved in to a larger location and started selling anything headie, from papers to pipes to pixies.

In March 2007 we realized that with mall expansions and a change in operations at the Mall we would be better set to move on to better, brighter and happier horizons! We changed our name to The Lemonade Stand, a name we find fun, original in context and commonly used and easy to remember. Our customers and colleagues love it alike.

We’ve since expanded our operations with two satelite locations in Salmon Arm and Merritt.

All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.
