Today we’d like to introduce you to Magnolia Lefebvre.
Magnolia , we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I have had a dream to start a dirty soda cart for a few years ! Dirty Soda has been popular in other states for a while, and is slowly making its way in San Diego. I have many friends who do local mobile carts, which has always inspired me to want to start a small business, and be able to support my future family ! As well, I want this cart to be a way to love on my community, and share the love the Lord has given myself and my husband. Were about 3 months in and loving every minute, and growing as much as possible before the arrival of our first child come May 2027.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Not at all ! San Diego County has very specific requirements for its food carts which is great in the sense of food saftey, but expensive and difficult. ITs worth every challenege, but made the process of when we decided to get started and being able to actually kick off more difficult and slower than anticipated.
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I am the owner of Sd Soda Stand, a mobile dirty soda cart based here in San Diego ! We do private and vendor events ! We do pop up collobrations with other businesses, private events such as baby showers, bridal showers, and birthday parties, and so much more. We have truly appreciated the outpouring from the community so far. It’s hard work being mobile, but great that we are able to show up in compact spaces such as in homes, backyards, business buildings, ect. As well, we work hard to make every experience special for each client, making a personalized menu with special names, custom stickers for every cup, and whatever else we can do to make a client feel more special for their occasion.
What are your plans for the future?
I mean, since we are so new, I am just excited to build a more consistent schuedule and grow our clientel. We hope to collobrate with more businesses and non profits, and continue to bring sd soda stand around San Diego County. Within the next 5 years, if it worked out, I would love to try and have a drive through or brick and mortar store, if it worked well for my family
