Wisconsin 11-Year-Old: From Cotton Candy Kid To Entrepreneur!
Meet Truman McNitt, the incredible 11-year-old candy entrepreneur who’s spinning sweetness into success in Kohler, Wisconsin. 🍬 #YoungEntrepreneur #CandyBusiness #InspirationalYouth
Kohler, Wisconsin – In a small eastern Wisconsin town near Lake Michigan, a young boy’s love for candy has turned into a thriving business. Truman McNitt, just 11 years old, has captured the hearts of many with his sweet creations.
His journey began when he was 10, inspired by his mom’s entrepreneurial spirit. He decided to start his own business, Sugar Twist Trinkets, using a cotton candy machine they had at home.
Truman’s business took off after he spun cotton candy at his sister’s dance. He upgraded his equipment, moved into a shed, and then expanded into his mom’s office.
Now, he’s not just making cotton candy; he’s also created freeze-dried charcuterie boards and added trinkets to his products, a nostalgic nod to the past when toys were found in cereal boxes.
His mom, Caitlin, is proud of Truman’s ability to make people smile and his big heart. The family has a history of entrepreneurship in Wisconsin, with innovations in plumbing, but Truman’s focus is on bringing joy through candy.
His hard work has paid off, as he’s now a finalist for the Junior Achievement Young Entrepreneur Live competition, hoping to win a $10,000 scholarship. You can learn more about Sugar Twist Trinkets on their website.
Truman’s story is a testament to the power of youthful creativity and determination. It’s a reminder that no matter your age, you can achieve sweet success.
