We are a proud, family-owned business launched in March 2026 by co-founders and partners Deborah and Christopher—a dynamic aunt-and-nephew team. Based in North Carolina, we specialize in bringing vibrant energy, unique creations, and community spirit to events of all sizes.

We believe that life is best enjoyed with a bit of zest, imagination, and a lot of prayer.

That’s why our parent company houses two completely unique businesses designed to treat your tastebuds and spark your creativity. Whether we are setting up at small neighborhood bazaars, local craft fairs, and community gatherings, or serving large crowds at major celebrations like Juneteenth, July 4th, and regional festivals, we bring our absolute best to every booth.

Meet Our Brands

Tangy Squeeze NC: The Ultimate Refreshment

Our signature mobile concession business is all about keeping you refreshed and smiling. We smash, mix, and squeeze premium, fresh hand-squeezed lemonade made to order. If you want to experience our crowd favorite, look out for our signature Strawberry Lemonade—it is packed with real, sliced fruit right inside the drink and topped with a beautiful whole strawberry on the straw or lid. We love bringing this splash of flavor to school events, community days, and major festivals alike.

Tangy Creations NC: Where Imagination Takes Shape

On the artistic side of our collective, we bring digital designs and raw creativity to life.

We specialize in cutting-edge 3D prints, custom articulated items, and original, one-of-a-kind artwork. From quirky, eye-catching fidgets and collectibles that kids and pop-culture fans love, to beautiful faith-based pieces and custom home decor, and Eco-Friendly Upcycled items you won't find anywhere else.

Why We Do It

Faith, family, and community are at the absolute heart of everything we build. Working as aunt and nephew allows us to blend our strengths, creativity, and motivation. When you support Tangy Squeeze NC or Tangy Creations NC, you are supporting a local, independent dream built on hard work, collaboration, and a shared love for making people happy.

How did Tangy Squeeze Originate?

We spend a lot of time together as a family. I am a mother of one- the lovely lady in the blue to the right, and I have many handsome nephews and beautiful nieces. Two of those nephews are pictured on this page. We, myself- Debbie, and my older nephew Chris, have been attending his son, Jacob’s games for a couple of years and we always love to visit the Lemonade vendor on the premises. One day we were watching the game and sipping on our Lemonades when we both thought, “Hmmm, what if we were to start a Lemonade business?” We discussed it between goals and by the time the game was over, the idea was hatched.

What followed were many, many late nights of research, joining groups with Lemonade vendors and gleaning their expertise, and figuring out the logistics of this new venture.

We got our license, contacted the Health Department and Agriculture Office and every other office we could think of. Got our EIN number and Tax and Use Number and then had our first taste test in April and it’s official…WE are official. We are now looking for events and ways to join this lovely community.

Thank YOU for joining us and taking time to read this section.

Come visit the page as much as possible. We will keep it up to date and we would love for you to come see us at our events, which I will list as we get them. Come up and say hi! If you plan to come to an event let me know if comments and there may be a special deal for you when you stop by the tent.

Looking forward to where this journey takes us!!!

LET’S GET IT!!!
