 A lemonade stand is the staple of a young entrepreneur’s résumé, but St. Jacobs’ Matthew Shoemaker and his friend Steven Bedynski had something else in mind.

Opting for something a bit more lasting, the friends went into business painting addresses on  the curb faces in front of customers’ homes.

“We were thinking of ways to save up for a ski membership, and we saw this around in other neighbourhoods. We just thought we could do that,” Shoemaker said, adding that this is their first time entering the business world.
