Luke Combs made the day of three young boys in Wisconsin over the weekend when he unexpectedly stopped by their lemonade stand ahead of his concert at Lambeau Field in Green Bay.
According to WBAL, Combs paid a visit to the boys’ stand in Manitowoc County, Wisconsin, on Saturday afternoon while enjoying some downtime between his two sold-out shows at the iconic home of the Green Bay Packers.
The country superstar reportedly spent part of his day golfing at Whistling Straits, and after wrapping up his round, he decided to make a quick stop for a drink.
The boys were stunned when the chart-topping singer-songwriter casually walked up to their stand.
“He walked up, he wanted four BUBBL’R,” William Dahlem recalled to the outlet. “And he tipped us like $120.”
What started as a typical afternoon running a neighborhood lemonade stand quickly turned into a memorable story for the trio of young boys, who couldn’t believe they had just met one of country music’s biggest stars.
“He’s one of the biggest stars in the world, and I got to see him,” one of the boys shared.
The surprise visit not only left the boys with an unforgettable memory, but also gave their business a major boost. According to WBAL, the trio earned a total of $300 from their lemonade stand that day. They told the outlet they plan to split the earnings evenly, each taking home $100.
Combs, a father of three boys himself, is currently in the midst of his massive My Kinda Saturday Night Tour, which has shattered attendance records at stadiums across the country along the way.
Beyond his success on the road, the North Carolina native is continuing to make history at country radio. Recently, Combs became the first artist ever to simultaneously hold two different solo songs at No. 1 across the Billboard and Mediabase country radio charts.
The milestone came as “Sleepless in a Hotel Room” spent its third consecutive week atop Billboard’s Country Airplay chart, while “Days Like These” climbed to No. 1 on the Mediabase Country Aircheck chart, marking Combs’ 21st consecutive chart-topper.
With the achievement, Combs further extends his own record for the most consecutive No. 1 singles to start a country music career, adding yet another milestone to his already historic run.
