Kyleigh McGee, a 7-year old African American girl from Little Rock, Arkansas is running and operating her very own food truck. The second grader told ABC News that she started out with a lemonade stand, but decided last year to expand her business to be more mobile and serve more refreshments such as fresh pineapple juice and snow cones. Her mother, who is helping her run the business, says that Kyleigh is very mature and dedicated, and that the business is teaching her daughter valuable lessons such as how to save and count money. Kyleigh says her favorite part of running her own business, is "being the boss and serving people food." Naturally, people are amazed and very impressed at what Kyleigh has been able to accomplish at such a young age. "Everyone is so excited, I have gotten so many phone calls, so many messages," her mom said. "It happened so fast... the response we’ve gotten, I don’t think I was expecting that." And it's not that people are just supporting her because she's a cute little girl; They really like her products!
