Sugary Stop, a youth-led business!
Sugary Stop is a youth-led business launched in 2023 by four passionate participants of WDC's Youth Development program, created to showcase their creativity, entrepreneurial spirit, and commitment to sweet success.
More Than a Drink Stand
The Sugary Stop is guided by values that reflect the spirit of its young founders:
- Innovation: Trying new ideas, experimenting with flavors, and thinking outside the box.
- Investment: Creating meaningful leadership and experiential learning opportunities for youth.
- Fun & Positivity: Wearing costumes, running themed drink specials, and creating joyful moments.
