Teen Makes $25,000 Selling Ice Cream From a Boat

Sixteen-year-old Brian Troupe launched Troupe's Treats, a floating ice cream shop operating on the Bohemia River. After overcoming initial operational challenges at a local pier, his creative approach on the water led to a lucrative summer season in 2026. Sales surpassed twenty-five thousand dollars as he successfully utilized fishing nets to boost customer engagement. Troupe ultimately envisions passing down this thriving business to another aspiring teenager in the future.
