Dreyton McDonald, a 7th-grader in Florida, has sold snow cones out of his own mobile shop for 3 years. Now, he hopes to expand his burgeoning empire. 'I guess you can say I'm a businessman,' the 12-year-old told NPR.
Dominic McDonald, ma'am," the 12-year-old politely told NPR.At age 9, he said his father, Dominic McDonald, approached him with a proposition:"My dad told me to choose between selling doughnuts orWith that, the elder McDonald was off to buy his son a 14-by-8-foot trailer that's been converted into a mobile snow cone shop called Ice Ice Dreyton. On weekends, the trailer is set up at parks and special events across Ocala, Fla., where Dreyton and his dad live.
That means Dreyton is responsible, not just for making the snow cones, but also choosing which flavors to offer — Dreamsicle and cotton candy are his favorites — luring in customers, and handling all of the money. For his father, who runs a massage therapy business, part of the inspiration for the snow cone shop was to help Dreyton feel connected to Ocala, where he moved after McDonald got full custody of him. But it also came out of need.
