* ''Series/OddSquad'':
** Polly Graph is a local vendor in town who sells lemonade in the summer and hot chocolate in the winter who is also one of Odd Squad's greatest allies, often coming to Precinct 13579's Headquarters to settle conflicts and giving them discounts on her drinks. She also has an affinity for graphs and loves to employ them in her business ventures. As shown in "Bad Lemonade", she also takes running her combined stand very seriously, treating it as though it's a legitimate business and having a fall from grace when Odd Todd forces her to close and opens up his own stand instead, which sells lemonade and pickle juice that makes people's heads turn into giant lemons and pickles.
** In "Overdue!", Oswald gets an idea to co-run a lemonade stand with Orla in the Odd Squad Main Library in order to make enough money to pay her library fine. At first, they sell lemonade for a single cent per cup, but when they find that's too low of a price, they switch to selling bandages for paper cuts, charging $2 per bandage before lowering it to $1 when a nearby agent remarks that $2 is too expensive. It manages to get them the money they need, but at the cost of Octavius, the head librarian, finding out that they broke a library rule that one can't operate a business inside of a library.

* ''Literature/TheGreatBrain'': Tom Fitzgerald, the titular "Great Brain," usually turns his intelligence towards schemes for making a buck. Examples include a black market candy store at a Jesuit boarding school and showing off his family's first of its kind flushing toilet. The neighborhood kids usually tolerate it because they rarely understand how he's taken advantage of them, just that he has. He is fully capable of making an honest buck though, such as when he got his hands on a makeshift raft and charged the other kids for river rides.

* ''WesternAnimation/WaitTillYourFatherGetsHome'': Jaime Boyle, youngest son of the main character Harry, can often be seen trying to start some new business whenever the series focuses on him, such as offering to take portraits of people using a camera he found while cleaning the attic. This is in direct contrast to his elder BrilliantButLazy brother Chet and GranolaGirl sister Alice. While Harry is usually quite happy with this, there have been instances where Jamie has needed to be reigned back in, such as when Harry discovered he was exploiting other kids to run his lemonade stand.
