When life gives you lemons, start a lemonade truck.
At least that’s what Anthony Rammuny thought his junior year of high school at Sylvania Northview High School in 2021.
“I was sitting in business class … and we had to make a restaurant,” he said. “I was like, ‘Oh can I do a food [lemonade] truck?’”
Anthony first had this idea when his family went to Florida for his older sister, Riley, who had a college cheer competition there.
During the visit, he saw the lines of food trucks surrounded by crowds of people, and one truck was just serving lemonade. He said he began to think of the potential of having a similar business of his own in Toledo.
The now sophomore in college at the University of Toledo added that he didn’t exactly know what he wanted to do after high school graduation, but after having conversations with his father, Omar, they brought the idea of a lemonade truck to life in the summer of 2023.
Getting its start
After roughly a year of service, The Squeeze lemonade has grown from Anthony’s school project to attending local events — and hosting private catering — throughout the city.
